Maybe here? This one is flat too, being near Houston, but is a blast on smaller classes.
Laptime is about a minute, so there's not much resting. Am usually about dead after doing 3 hours of a 6hr endurance race.

This one has a fair amount more elevation change. About 70 feet. It happens several times too: Fun Up through 1-2. Fun Down through 4-5, long boring, HP-sucking up 6-7, Fun Down through 9, Fun Up through 10. In fact, all of it except 10-11, and the first 3/4 of 11-1 is changing elevation. Looks like a drag strip in plan, but ends up being very fun and challenging.

And here's part of the elevation of my new home track, where I have to run each of the next 4 days except Saturday. Not a great picture, as this is only the bottom of the hill, and from my first time out when I was still scared of it (down-hill, off-camber, decreasing radius, tighter-than-90-degrees, and about 150 foot total elevation change)



Need to find where they've stashed their trackmap.

edit: OK, here it is. Good times.

Curve is now converted to dirt riding (as I am) and has recently build his racetrack in the yard. Proof below!
