Some decent news to report. Dennis and Larry were on on Thursday, they spent several hours scouting for possible track locations. They have found a couple of possibilities. The most promising for our long course, could be approximately seven and a half miles in length and would be situated west of where the pits were located during Speedweek. That area has been underwater for the last few years and therefore inaccessible, it has dried now and looks pretty promising. They had intended to pull a drag along it, but the motorcycle folks had all the drags in use, working to prep their own courses.
Our short course will most likely use the same track we had prepared for the Test and Tune. It is in decent shape and should come around nicely when worked a little bit.
Dennis and Larry will be going back out again this Thursday and use a drag to further evaluate both tracks and we will post their findings. We feel confident that USFRA will be able to provide the best courses possible considering the thin salt conditions.
If this is how we finalize the location of the tracks, it will mean a very unique layout and changes to how the return roads and turnouts will be situated. Stay tuned to this same"Bat Channel" for more information.
