It seems like they had a smaller track nearby for weekly racing also. I loved riding at the Silverdome also, I placed second in class out of about 90 entrants one year. A couple years later I smoked my ankle in a heat race and it still gives me trouble 15 yrs later. Man, I wish I hadn't started thinking about this stuff again! Thanks alot!

I think you're refering to the downhill, that's not "the leap" and if you hit that flat out you'de be eff'd
The uphill on the other side is what I'm talking about. It's in the opposite corner of the track from the downhill (also fun). Man I got goosbumps thinking about it, for those that don't know, you're jumping uphill to a plateau at full shank in top gear. You're in the air long enough to do your taxes! Crowd in the stands to the right giving ya Kodak courage, man I can't believe I'm still in one piece
Never did the dome, bet that was a riot!
