There were no track vendors, and no food onsite (but previous events did have food available I was told). There is a Subway 5 minutes down the road so no one starved.
The facility and track are beautiful and modern. Id go back in a heartbeat. I also figured out that riding with high corner speed and using the biggest radius in the turns is not necessarily the fast way around a track on a 250.  So much to learn still. 2:12s were my best. I think fast time on a 250 is 1:59? |
The track is one of my favorites. We would go up friday and watch the drag races, this year we even took the groms out for a run.
I heard Drew Jankord ran some 1:59's and maybe even 58's there years ago on a 250. When we raced there a few months ago on 300's I was able to get into a 1:52.1 and drew a 1:52.2, just as we started really pushing I ended up crashing so tough to say what the end of the race would've given us.
I have a video from Saturday's race that has a low 1:53 in there I can post up on youtube, may help open up a few lines. Unforunately I didn't have my gopro rolling for Sunday's faster lap.
