INTERESTING....now, I've only seen TPM on Shenendoah, bu I was told it was track policy to not let bikes run that turn due to how the run off is and the angle of the camber of the concrete in that turn

I'll have to disagree with that: the carousel has been open everytime I've gone there with Roger Lyle...

I think the Karussel is at 1:09 in this video from a roger lyle track day: Dave Church Shenandoah track day

And here is TPM skipping the range esses (6&7 on the map I have) at :26 and the Karrusel at 1:16: TPM track day in WV

Heck, that looks easy! Besides the Karussel, I expect turn 8, the downhill left, might be unnerving the first few times through. Also prob a blast to get right, though. It was in the car.

Turns 6-7-8 starting at 0:25 and then 17-18 starting at 1:25 in the video are the most challenging.

The hardest part on 6-7 is finding the right apexes, since you're going uphill on 6 you don't see what's coming and you need to setup 8-9 correctly. BTW, skipping the range esses is cheating!

The situation with 17-18 is similar but not as bad uphill-downhill, on the other side 17 leading into 18 is off camber so it tends to push you to the outside of the turn which messes up your setup for turn 18.

The thing you need to watch out for in the caroussel is the entrance, get it right and stay away from the upper edge or you're pretty much screwed.

Other than that I love this section of the track, starting from the "bus stop" which is one of the few places I have ever wheelied the 750!

I'm registered (noob group). I will continue to update the OP as things firm up. And...

Meerkat · August 01, 2011, 07:23:20 AM

For anyone who hasn't registered and is thinking about it: pre-registering (10 days in advance) gets you a $25 discount and if you're military you have $25 off as well.

What are you waiting on?

Autohag · August 26, 2011, 08:49:27 AM

Last call as I need to firm up logistics very soon.

Some pics from my camera; Jim might have some to share. It was damp but damn fun!

The good thing about being the slowest guy on the track is the photographer is able to take lots of pictures of you...

Stories!? Fun stuff to tell?

Way for the rest of us to live vicariously?
