Thats in the Mark Berry territory there!! I would love to see what his car would do out there, but I would hate to see what would happen if he went for an off road excursion in that thing......

The LS1-M3 blew the engine last time it was @ ECR

Ya, Mark would need a cage in order to get safe on the road course for sure. And a HANS. And a major "oh $#17" handle.

when did they repave their track? i was looking for times to compare too, but i heard when they repaved it they added a lower speed area which increased times, but i don't know for sure. also don't know when they repaved the track.

I'm not sure, I think early last summer.

When Justin and I were talking to them after we were done, they said they are going to be reworking the back straight and doing something with a cut across (I think for the karts, that 2000' straight must be pretty boring for a kart).

So it might be impossible to even judge later this year.

We need to talk about our memberships up there, Kevin, goofy, denver...If we gather our collective bargaining power, I'm sure that we could secure some guest passes each year at least.

eh... I'm not sure I'm down for a membership. I have at least two autocrosses each month this summer... and track days are expensive -- especially at ECR -- because of the tire and brake (and o2 housing for me and meth for you and Kevin).

I had a golf membership before I got into motorsports and while it is a good idea, doing the same course/track over and over gets... dare I say, boring.

Im totally down for a membership, but later in the year after I find out if the company I work for is going to stay in business All of our paychecks got retracted from our accounts last night.......we are told it was a "banking error" BS!! ship is sinking for sure..... scary times!!! I might have to take the plunge and work for evodynamics full time, full line of evodynamics parts could be comming soon j/k (partly)

On the on topic side of things.... I wish they would do something with a few of those bad braking areas....... while I enjoy a challenge bumpy braking zones make me pucker up pretty hard so to speak!

I could hold off until later in the year as well, I've got to fill the new house with furniture.

But I think that ECR is a really good deal for only $25/month. For that price, it would be easy to miss a few months without feeling obligated to show up. I think that I'm good for about 10 track days per year, between ECR, MSR guest, and various track days like our HHR this May, I would get enough to satisfy my needs.
