I am not, but looks like a big track! 289 miles to this place, 230 to Putnam Park, so about the same distance without the time change :D

Was at this track this past weekend. Great facility and nice track. When I get the GoPro video link from my driver, I will post it up here. Meanwhile, here's the start of the SRF race. 13 cars. I mechanic on the yellow one. His normal crew chief wasn't there, so I was duly elected :eek: From Saturday to Sunday, we picked up 9 seconds per lap with some shock adjustments and tire pressure changes. Driver (Tom) was extremely happy and finished 3rd in the regional both days. 5th overall on Sunday, but, we were underweight. Tom cut some grass and all of it blocked the radiator intake causing the car to overheat. We lost all antifreeze and were 11lbs shy of minimum 1670 lbs. Not sure if that was all the weight or if the car burned more fuel than we anticipated. We were lucky the track steward didn't DQ us, but moved his official finish to last :( Fastest SRF clocked a 1:31 lap here.

Video from the SRF at Topeka. Two off track excursions. This is the full race, watch what you want. Fast forward to 3:35 for the start, 25:30 for the spin. The White/Black car with SPX on the back is the one I'm looking at buying.
