Boasting 2.8 miles of length, 19 turns, WIDTH (36 feet), and elevation change (110 feet). The track is fast and challenging yet forgiving with lots of runoff. Wind it out on two long straights. Fix it in the paved paddocks & clean garages. Stay fresh with the clean & air-conditioned facilities. We be running the full circuit (combined north & south tracks) all weekend. The track was completely resurfaced last year (with terrific curbing) and is an excellent racing surface.
