Title: 2025 aftermath
Post by: rockracer on August 07, 2025, 07:48:09 PM
Saw this on another site.  An afterwards thread on what you liked or hated.  Track conditions,  things you would do differently,  things you did differently,  notes,  suspension vs. Non suspension,  camping, wind damage,  ect..
Feel free to rant....

I'll go 1st.
Just installed a awning on the cargo trailer and used it for the 1st time out there,  showing my buddy.  Sat down to chill,  brought out the CB and heard the warning coming from the starting line.
"Everybody in the pits,  this is a microburst warning,  coming your way "
Yeah that hit us after I told the team.  Awning destroyed. 😧
But yes thanks for the warning. I shoulda reacted sooner.

I went from Rookie to A license in 4 pass on course 3. I avg 216 at the 2 1/4 so I had an exit speed around 234. I would say course 3 was good enough for what we needed to do. I was told that the course might not take a 200mph pass and to be careful. 

We never got to course 1 or 2, we hurt the motor Monday during another driver?s A license attempt.


The wind came up everyday around 3-4 in the afternoon. Remember to take down your pop-ups before you leave for the starting line.

My grandson earned his B license, and I found a wonderful pleasure in getting old!

Similar to Fission, wanted to be there but without a running racer I wasn't going to make the trip.
