Not yet, but looking forward to it when AHRMA races there again.
I used to race in the SCCA and that was my "home track". In it's original configuration, there are no tight turns and it is about momentum and smoothness. I understand that there are optional chicanes there now. It is deceivingly fast.
"Magoo" Dude was an animal.....
Was there a guy who made "lead shoes" for those old dirt oval racers?
I went to Castle Rock, WA flat track National TT the other night (great show as usual by the way!) and while I was standing in the shade trying to cool off, I looked across from me and who did I see?? None other than Mert Lawill...I was like holy crap, thats Mert! Anyone that's watched On Any Sunday in their lifetime knows who he is

Why I'd like to see the Production Twins class come backUnlike today`s big corporation "One Mfg Wins All" BS, this is real flat track racing as God intended.

Bought this as a long term project, think it may take a bit longer than I thought as although it looks like there's plenty of room for the engine to get it in the bottom mount comes right in the middle of the bottom rails
I have never seen this one. Thanks for sharing. Brings back great memories.I`ll bet I`ve seen that video a thousand times and that`s not nearly enough!
Here`s another good video/movie.
