This is a great track. Very fun to drive in heavy cars with good horsepower. Great link, thanks.

The only down side is that they only have portpottys so women be fore warned.

If I get a codriver do we each have to pay an entrance fee or is it a entrance fee for the car? Meaning if we split the number of runs we get perday for 2 people would it still be $165?

I think you can split the entry fee, but you would need to contact the group running it. Some allow 2 drivers per car, others don't.

Why do you say that? The bumpy straightaway in the back? Just drive in the middle.

unless they have changed it if you go off track especially after turn 3 to 7 there are large drop offs which will cause any car to roll. they're are also large bolders in the infield area.. the track has improved alot since its first race 3 years ago.....mike

They have also expanded the track in the past couple of years. I was there a couple of weeks ago and I remember at least one car going off the track at turn 3-4. Its pretty much all level now. Plus they expanded the track. I didn't see any boulders in the infield. I know they are pretty excited about adding a mile or so to the length of the track. I imagine it has changed a lot in three years, probably in part to concerns about.

Ya, the weather did do its toll on the back straight at reno. but otherwise, the track was very fast, they did get rid of the large rocks in the infield, and filled in the run-offs a bit. I know I had a great time inlight of some electrical issues. We'll have a cool video up later this week, from us being there. We were testing a few new camera set-ups, so new angles with alot more action.
