Is anyone else having problems finding their way out of the pits ? I think I need a GPS. Or a guide dog. Good thing we start on the track. But we still have to make a pit stop. Anyway, I'm as lost as Hogan's goat. Oldtimers disease. I guess I'll figure out sooner or later. :-)

Well I found my way out..........No GPS needed. Just a few pit outs to learn where the track was. I think the turn at the exit was hardest to find. Didn't look like an exit.

It seems the pits are the same as leaving the first time so be prepared to zig zag through the maze after your pit stop

Sorry to miss the race, I was out playing with my toys... It was a nice day so I was responsible for the sounds of spring... the exhaust tones of several vehicles. I got the MG Midget and CBR 1000 RR out for several hours, and finally got the Kawasaki running and ready for the first ride of the season. In doing so, I had had just showered and sat down and noticed I had missed the raceā¦ Doh!

You made the right choice JB. While I normally love the street courses, this one was terrible. The tire barriers in most turns were incredibly unforgiving. Just a slight brush on the side launched your car sideways into the path of other cars. Combine that with the lack of traction and you have a perfect storm of disaster. The fuel estimates were off too, and finally the pit exit was just nuts.
With that being said I think it has potential to be a lot of fun. It just needs a lot of work. Much, much work.

Ahh the MG, I bet it liked getting out. Yes it is almost riding weather. Took the Suzuki out last weekend for a shakedown but couldn't stop anywhere because the battery is about shot. So that will be the first purchase this season
