Perhaps I might just do that! Unless Laura has something equally as exciting she'd like me to do.

COMMENTS FROM TEST DAY MAY 13
Our officials, Race Group Liaisons, Instructors, and selected racers were invited to test the new track on Friday May 13. Here is some of what they had to say:
Drivers were asked to rate the course on a scale from 1-10 with 10 being best and 5 being average. There were 30 who completed the survey.
How did you like the design? 8.46
How would you rate track safety? 6.37
How would you rate the current facilities? 8.35
(It is important to note that Summit will be making many changes that will improve track safety (listed below) and are opening up a new building with restrooms, showers and will have air and gas once we arrive. These were not available that day.)
Positive comments:
"As for design, in my opinion this is the best track in the country."
"I would race here and pass everywhere! Walls don't bother me....Watkins, Limerock, Road Atlanta...what is the difference?"
"Fun to drive - keeps you busy. More passing room than expected."
"An absolutely great driver's track!"
"Great technical track...has the makings of a great track."
"Track grows on you once you start "mastering" sections of it".
"Very fun track especially with the carousel...wonderful overall design."
"Much better than expected.....layout does flow well after track time."
"The hook is great fun as is Big Bend. I liked T1 as well."
"Fun for practicing car control"
"Great track..would gladly come back."
"A fundamentally fun track that challenges the driver."
The following were our driver suggestions for improvement, and many of these are being addressed prior to us being at the track on June 11, 12. Based on our suggestions and the suggestions of others who have run there, the track is smoothing out some bumpy, rough surfaces, adding tires to some walls, adding soft wall barriers, and filling in some drop-off areas at the transition of the track to the ground. These improvements and more will be made prior to our arrival.
Suggestions from our drivers for improvement:
"Bumpy, some rough curbs."
"Paving transitions needs attention."
"Approaching a spinner in corkscrew might be ?????"
"Small paddock. Need gravel at loop turn. Too tight for a Mustang in street tires."
"Get some tires along walls especially head of back straight".
"Bumpy at first but once you learn line it isn't bad."
"Significant drop-off from track level to run off. Walls seem close".
"More soft barrier walls needed. Smooth pavement."
"Put tires at wall straight ahead of braking zone for chicane in carousel."
"Lots of bumpy spots but I think you said those are being addressed."
"Lots of concrete barriers. Not much run off room"

If I decided to work this event, assuming there are still spots open, is there a way I could catch a ride down with one of you guys?
I dont want to commit to this yet, because I know I have a family thing in June, but Ill check it out and post on here within a day our two
- CaptainHenreh - 05-27-2005
Looks like I can make it after all. Kick-ass. Laura, I sent you an email, I'd like to flag if there are still spots left.

umm right... i leave that one alone... and i'm sure you missed CMP lol.
- Mike - 06-02-2005
fuuuuck e-brake is done. with barely enough room to scoot on my back underneath the car and some bolts that were obviously never meant to be touched, this was easily the most difficult thing i've done on the car. but, now i've got an e-brake and i'm happy about that (my instructor will be too!) next task? pedals.
- Mike - 06-06-2005
i wish i had more hands... master cylinder pooped out today. i'll be replacing with an integra one, but that means new brake booster too. clutch is slipping like a mofo as well. doesn't look like i'm running this event
- Dragon - 06-06-2005
You still got 4 days, fix your chit.
- Mike - 06-06-2005
You're being gay with Ryan tomorrow night when we planned to do the clutch so that leaves that til Wednesday and prolly Thursday since we suck. Assuming I get the MC in time, do that Friday night and then leave for the track at like 6am? No thanks.
- .RJ - 06-06-2005
I told you wednesday when we were at the track dummy.
- navin - 06-06-2005
