Little river? If so that's a good way to get shitty track times. Nothing like facing a line of trees at the back end of the track. Slowdown area isn't much longer than the burn out area.

You are pretty disconnected and haven't been there in some time as obvious by your post.

The track has changed owners and they brought someone in who knows how to prep the track and is allowed to.

The shutdown area hasn't changed but it isn't bad. Recent runs.

Damn sorry I'm so "disconnected". Please feel free to school me up on a lil piss ant track. It's just being there for 6 yrs it always kinda sucked. Hell it still looks ghetto.

Please tell me they fixed the death bleachers too.

Seems kinda funny that you see and hear a car run straight as a string to mid-10s at 130 on a track, and still call it a shitty track.

Fast car do doubt. Track might be nicer than it use to but I'm sure it's still not all that great. My opinion.

When some of the Dallas guys are making the trip to LR instead of some of the DFW area tracks, it's worth it.

It used to suck and that is probably what you remember. That has all changed.

The new owner ripped the old bleachers out and installed new.

Facilities are clean and the food is good. More serious people run there vs. tracks like SAR.

You were stationed in California last I knew and may be off to another PCS by now.

If you haven't run down the track in the last 12 months then yes you are "disconnected". If you weren't you would have known about the bleachers.

What are the fastest times you have run at the track? I have no issues stopping a 3,500lbs. car with Strange brakes on the front running 10's and mid 120's.

Since I have been going the past year I have only witnessed one car not make the last turn off. It was a GTR and had some sort of failure in the shutdown area causing him to bounce off the guardrails. His car was no quicker/faster than mine but it sure had a lot more brake and tire on it. Not going to blame the track on that.

Past year? Maybe you didn't know the old track then. There were a few vehicles that didn't make the turn off.

4500lb truck with stock brakes going thru the traps at around 120 wasn't the best of ideas. Exact times? Hell I don't remember. I have tbi I have hard times remembering shit that's not important enough in life to remember like track times.

It wouldn't be disconnected. Maybe uninformed.

Anyways you are the best and know it all.
