I recently got to drive "The Bowl" at Pocono. It's probably the fastest you'll go into a turn in the East?

B!TCH - Turn 1, south course at VIR .

You just hold your breath instead of saying "Turn 9" at Willow. When WSIR was designed somewhere before it's construction in 1958, I don't think they had any idea..............:eek:

At Adams Kart Track in Riverside, we had one called the "Sandbox." And some switch backs known as the "Junk." There was also Monza and Snack Bar.

Tracks from a by-gone era...
 
Those who are from BC, will remember the old Westwood track in Coquitlam. Personal Favorites:

Clubhouse Corner
Deer's Leap (not a corner, but you get the idea)

Anyone know any names from the Targa Florio circuit, or seen any track-maps on-line?

Andretti hair pin - Laguna Seca

Tinton, Had an opportunity to drive them all in 1998 in a Lotus Elise. Greatest birthday present from the wife ever.

What about the hairin at Sears, UH excuse me, Infineon. The only savior is maybe cutting across the staging lanes for the drag strip.
