[Coonassme2]

Hmmm... seems like that track favors the litre bikes, hahaha.

I want to ride this one! Pikes Peak just doesn't do it for me.

[paniro187]

that is true, i remember a freind telling me about his 916 doing less there than it did here

Colorado has some cool tracks as well as some of the most awesome roads. Pure sportbike heaven. Lived there for a few years off and on. Only 3 downsides;
1) Because of the thinner air most 1000's perform like 750's.
2) Cliffs / mountainsides; most of the roads have no guard rail or run off. Mess up and you eiher become part of a mountain or try to learn to fly!
3) Winter; the riding / racing season is roughly only 6 - 7 months long

BTW Pikes Peak is pretty cool, no real straight aways and 10 corners in 1.3 miles make it a pretty challenging course.
Steve, Second Creek does look cool, sorta reminds me of Cresson a little.

We definitely neeeed more tracks! All these other damn states have great tracks and a lot of good racers come from Texas! whats up w/that. :dontknow: We have issues...

[paniro187]

they say motorsports ranch houston will be here this fall and we'll be racing NPR next year so from what I understand theyare cutting down the TWS race days so it'll be better.

[Patrick]

Several things limit tracks in Texas, but the primary ones are; insurance and neighboring communities protesting the tracks and implementing "noise ordinances".

If MSR Houston really becomes a reality, and I hope it does, it will add another much needed quality track to Texas.
Oak Hill, although a sentimental favorite to some, is well over due for either a major face lift or closure. Issues like no concrete paddock, no bathrooms / showers, no electricity, as well as the track can't really handle the speeds of the bigger bikes, make it's future dim.
NPR is o.k. and they've taken steps to address some of the safety issues. I look forward to us racing there.

I am starting to like TWS. :icon_thumright:

[Steve O Chap]

I am starting to like TWS.* :icon_thumright:


I like highspeed tracks with lots of long sweepers... not to into the tight technical tracks that much.

I like tight technical myself. think that's why i like NPR as much as i did. :icon_thumright: I like the tracks where big hp means nothing.

I don't mind the big HP... people can use it as a handicapper if they want. I just think my riding style works best for the long hard fast corners. It's tough moving this 6'4 frame all over the bike, back and forth like is demanded at tight tracks.

Well then I say lets kick those neighboring commuities asses like the rail road companies did in the old days. We are a gang now right (zapata's thread) "WE CAN DO IT"
