Is that the last turn(14) at CMP? Sure looks like it. Edit: There is a berkeleying pond there, who would of thought?
Don't know, I've never been...one of my old Flagging buddies from the old days is now Flag Chief for SCR/CCR, another is DC Region. I was supposed to use all my vacation time in 2010 to go work club races at tracks I'd never been to, but had to make other plans after the layoff.

That's it, CMP, I saw the car in person, and, in theory, raced against it. In Lemons, all E30s seem the same when you're racing them. As I remember, it wasn't the slowest E30 there. It was the most brilliant, however.

A picture now, eh?

Lots of words, lots of pictures. How about some Swamp Rat XXX?

The best part was Big's remarks afterwards:

Big Daddy Don Garlits said: "...and the car, surprisingly, suffered little damage, though he did withdraw it from competition (“Even I’m not that crazy,” he self-mocked when Steve Evans asked him if the car could continue at the event)."

Yeah, I figured it was CMP, it has the cutout for both of the turn 13s in the back of the picture and really looks like the landscaping there. I really don't think I would care to drive that Lemons configuration though. No kink, no carousel, and not as much speed out of 13. :what the:

Similar structure as the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge.
I didn't know the Chain of Rocks had a car show. Pretty cool. God I love Route 66.

"The Sixth Street Railroad Bridge was built between 1869 and 1871. The engineer was W. E. Porter.

The bridge used 50,000 yards of stone, and with 53 piers, it was the longest bridge of its type in the world when it was built. The bridge superstructure starts in Parkersburg and includes spanning the Ohio River.

The steel structure was rebuilt in 1914 to 1917, and one span rebuilt in 1972. The masonry work remains unchanged."

I think you're wrong her,e that was the full course, with kink, and with the fast version of 13.

Wish we could have a minibike drag race at the $2012 Challenge. Call it the Mini $201.20 Challenge. It would be fun to see how much minibike you can build for $201.20.

Carousel? At CMP? Sure you're not thinking of Summit Point?
