showers at thunderbolt course not lightning coures...so far. i did not notice
any sand fleas during the SVRA event i ran a few weeks ago. but a serious lack
of vegitation is a huge annoyance due to the dust factor. drivers meetings
spoke of slowing down but not stopping for dust from other drivers going off
course. visibulity can be that bad at current state. visibility is
seriously hampered if a car goes off course. we were pitted just over the
bridge near the fuel pumps. the course is fun. but untill the complex gets
better developed , the dirt / dust factor is quite unplesant. if evryone
keeps (spectators included) on asphalt , great! eventually it will become
rather nice. harvey and brian call it a "work in progress". you'll see what
that means. *wink*
aw heck , it's new. i'm taking my gear in case i can bum so much as a few
laps in a practice session on the other course this weekend.
chuck.
sore from corner working last weekend at weatherly , but would drive this
weekend if given a chance!
BTW? since when has bugs and dirt kept anyone from going racing?? *VBG* c.
