  • Lots and lots of Alaska road racing pics

    This track we know and love, lots of pics- great track really, sure, has some grass growing out of the track, but doesn't stop dudes from hitting 1fitty on the back stretch, or draggin' knees on the corners!

    I think you will find some elevation changes will ad a whole new dimension to your track riding experiences here in Ca. Not that I know first hand. I've never done a track day myself. I am afraid to get hooked on another expensive hobby.

      Well, I know first hand the difference in tuning very well- I have seen "mineshaft" air- where the air density was over 2000 ft below sea level- no foolin'! That will drop a full second off a race car's 1/4 mile time, and three jet sizes!

        Heh, that's funny. I meant elevation changes as far as road conditions on the track, not sea level difference. Runways are flat but the tracks around here have lots of dips and rises.

          Really funny. The Durbin deep 15 mile race in one of the deeper gold mines in the world. Headlights required and you better be good at manuvering in tight spaces!
