as for elk creek....yeah, it hooks! that, and emily likes it cause thats where the fast stangs are!
aaaaaaaaaannnnnddd......its a REAL 1/8mile.....unlike NB. theirs, IIRC, is slightly under 1/8mile.....last i remember.
Actually, Elk Creek in the past has been known for being a little shy of 660' (1/8th mile) They use to say they made it shorter to make up the difference in the altitude. Natural Bridge, as far as I know, is a full 660'. As far as the slow times, there are a few reasons. 1)Altitude, 2)Traction, of course, 3) they dont treat the track much on Friday nights unless they are having the fast cars up there. 4) Some of these people at NB, no matter where they go, will have slow times. Its amazing how many people I see that dont even let the car cool down between runs, or even shut them off! They just fly through the pits in a race to get back in line. Morons!
All in all, I'm not the biggest fan of NB, but it is close to roanoke, and beats sitting at the house. I was hoping to have the black Cobra ready to make a few passes, but that won't be happening this week. So, I'll probably just go and watch.
