The best part? The concete is perfect. It's part of Fentress' active taxiways. So it's in the same condition as ACU4.
That is good news.

Yes, it will start on the 19th. Basically you'll drive past all the construction out to the runway. I'll give you a much better idea of everything saturday evening after I see it. Unless you want to come out on Saturday and help setup, then you can see it for yourself.

Sounds like this is the piece we last used back in 95 or so. It was good. The course design was kinda limited, but it was all better than what we had been using before. I have good memories of running Dale's car out there.

That's great news.. is this going to be a regular place to run? The gravel trap at Fentress has kept me away - It's gotten so bad over the years (I guess I was spoiled before it became as bad as it is..)

I remember running the big part of the runway there years ago - had a real nice course setup once which was definately the highest speed autox I ever ran. I seem to remember cording some cantilever slicks there.

Fort Lee.... my fond memory there is watching the scenery go by sideways.. and at varying angles... you and your d*** good deal on used race tires.
