Garage


It is a fun track. The weather was amazing. Mid July and it was so cool at one point I had to step into the sun and get out of the garage. There was nothing much green to see at all as far as grass or trees.

Eagles Canyon near Decatur, TX has an even more fun (if you get it just right) it is a downhill turn, off camber, down into the canyon, then another turn uphill. It is something like 8 stories of elevation change. I got it wrong twice and went sideways like a drifter. I don't like looking out the side window to see the track!

Ozark International Raceway near Gravois Mills, Missouri is my new favorite track. It is 4 miles long, with over 1,200 feet of elevation change. There is no true straight. The part they call the roller coaster is a blast. In my old 85 911 I enter the first downhill part and it runs to the redline in third gear in a split second du to the hill. Into 4th and stand on it as I hit the bottom, then up the hill and after one flat out topping the hill and feeling the car get loose, I would lift. Once over that hill, pedal to the metal downhill to the next hump, and nail the brakes and back to third.

The hard part is learning the 4 mile long track. After many laps it all comes together.



Nice wide track, and it is a wildlife preserve. A pair of bald eagles are nesting there and they were flying around. Very pretty place, and an awesome track.
