kayso...

I went up and stuck around for the morning. Ant made it but couldn't stay past the rider's meeting.

Track feedback
The track was only starting to dry out by the time I left and speeds were starting to ramp up.

Consensus among the riders I spoke to: It's pretty tight. Nice variety for such a short track.

Observations: They've got SAFER barriers in key spots (e.g. under the bridge) but as noted above, not everywhere. TTD laid out cones in some places to force safer lines (exiting the oval, and the first right-hander in the twisty section).

There are many places to spectate... basically you can see the whole track except the turn 9-10 area.

Parking/garage feedback:

It's very crowded. Admittedly a lot of people showed up (I heard 128). Parking was chock full. If you do the canopy thing you will be RIGHT next to people on either side. I have a feeling that pitting near one another isn't going to happen unless we try to all show up at the same time, which is just silly. You're going to arrive and a staff member will point. You go where they tell you.

There's plenty of room for tents in the field over towards the skid pad. It's the pit/canopy section that's full.
