Guys, let me chat with Bill tomorrow and I will see how he feels about a 'flying visit' where he can perhaps lead a convoy or two around the track for a few laps to let everyone get a look at the new track. Couple of reasons why we (I say 'we', since I am on the board!) are just a little nervous about the full track are...
1) We laid the full track asphalt only a couple of months ago, and are still working on the barriers for the 'long' portion of the track. Since this is a 180 mph back straight, and in the European style through the trees, we are concerned about anyone spinning out and wrecking their car and themselves around a tree!!!
We got delayed about 2 months by the weather this winter, otherwise we would be finished.
2) This is NOT a novice track, with some quite challenging corners and elevation changes, and Bill (who used to drive the Ferrari canam car) has essentially said "no one gets to drive the full track without some kind of formal training". The reason he wanted a full day was to provide the first part of that training, that's all. We've had the Corvette Club come down for some whole day sessions, and even using just the short track has proven the adage that "just because you can write a check for a corvette, doesn't mean you can drive it on a racetrack". Hell, he won't even let ME loose on the full track, and I was the FIRST investor...LOL.
Perhaps this might be something more appropriate for next year, or perhaps I can take a few interested parties down myself after the Oasis! Anyone interested in just this, come find me Thursday night...I'll be the one with the English accent and the British Racing Green car...
