QuoteI wouldn't be real tempted to race at Beaver, even though it is in my state... The pavement has gone much worth that I think it is smoother at summit! Besides, I don't think Beaver is a good track to race on, narrow, short and that turn 1 scares me. And still no facilities really. I went there this year and it is nothing like the nice track from last year. If we going to have the usual 40-50 amatuer show up per class from MA, it is going to be very dangerous wouldn't you think?

There are a couple more tracks being built around the MA, if that track in NJ gets build soon we can have that added to the schedule. I think 3 rounds each would very nice and then toss in Barber.

If Summit finishes that new track and it is half way decent then we have 3 tracks anyway!

I've heard mixed reviews on Beaver so it was just a thought.  I would be curious to what some WERA guys think about it since they had a round there this year.  

As far as the new tracks, including Summit, RC, etc.., we have been waiting on them and they haven't happened yet.  It would seem foolish to do the same thing again next year, right?  Also I would have to see some major transformation in the walls of Summit's new track before I would race there.  I know it's not finished but as it is laid out right now I would much rather race at VIR south.

I looked at the track design layout, (not the actual work site) and if you cut out certain sections of track you will only have 1 wall.

I never ridden on the south at VIR, I may this weekend. Why is it not suitable for racing? paddock too small? no facilities?

But then again if we are going to be a VIR, I rather race the north.

I really didn't think the surface at RRR was that bad  ;D remember last year in the rain I was passing everyone ?? I actaully crashed after I got cleared of every one (EX and AM)... well then I don't like the surface then  :D it grounded my pinky down!!!

You right of course.  I was looking up the track early as usual but once you look down there at that crap, it's hard to get it out of your mind what your riding on...: :-/

Started playing connect the dots and slowed down by over 1 sec. as the weekend went on...:(  
CMP surface is much better....

The grand course. THAT'S what we need to run. I did it on Mon with Cornerspeed... AWESOME!!!

I got some onboard video and I'll try and post a lap around today so you can see what it's like.

CMP is perfect for a motard! If we go race at CMP I will be sure to race ULSB and thunderbike on a motard!

well I will probably do it at summit too.
