    Motorcycles help restart vir and help it actually make money and they just piss it away

    Ahhhhh - there's the outside of the front straight one I'd heard about.

    ScottyRock is retired. Trees around racetracks no longer need protection. They should have checked first instead of spending money.

    Why would you want to make any runoff areas smaller?

    That kink is damn fast if you mess up your tip in..

    For some reason car groups keep asking for them to be less. I truly do not get it.

    Makes sense for them. They are protected. Might as well get the scary part over with quickly.

    Still weird to me, the drivers/owners I've talked to don't like bent/broken cars, they like runoff as long as possible.

    That was one of the main reasons I never fully made the move to cars, limited or no run off.

    well, that, no money and total lack of talent but, walls had some to do with it. :D

    I was kidding. I have no idea why anyone would want less.

    I think the concern is the cars not slowing down before the trees

    I’ve seen a number of people have triple digit exits at the kink and have been able to ride it out. A long way in the grass.
    I didn’t read if it said how far to the left of the track
    It will be placed and it’s kind of hard to tell by the image. As it is now, there is a lot of room between the track and trees so placing a long way off wouldn’t be a total disaster.

    BigBird blah

    the fastest i went in the lil minivan was 140 down the front straight. the lack of walls certainly seemed better to me. I did go two off after my brakes were toast, but seeing nothing in front of me way assuring.

    Way to make the track smaller :confused:
