RACEWAY PARK ROAD COURSE in 2007

Did anyone know they were going to be putting in a Road course ? I just found this out and am really siked since we just got our 79'. I have never done a road course before & would love to try. Do you know what is required to be able to run?

Like said above, thats been there for a while.

I see that everytime i visit the track. But its poorly made/thought of.

Unless they plan on making it better but i doubt it, the roads are already made.

I wouldnt wanna go on that though and if i did, i wouldnt wanna get charged and i def wont go WOT, i might hit a pothole and crash into a fence. lol

the etown road course was just used for the corvette day but only as an autcross track:

Here's a link to a video of the course: http://www.turboboxerfour.com/forum/...Day07MyFTD.wmv

i hope other clubs use it for autocross too.

I actually went to the SRT experience yesterday and we used it as a road course. Got the cars up to 105 mph down the back straight. It was a fun little course.
