The North track was. I used to be able to hit the kink at around 120 but last year I felt like I was pushing at 115. It has been repaved and ought to be great again.

Not so little. I think the MB Club was the first organization to use the track back when I had one and we actually drove cars on the Wilson Circuit. There was a One Lap that used it as well.

I'm not a garter but those who are set to love it.

The north track was a bit bumpy. But they regraded and repaved it over this past winter.

Check out the end of my DV article (page 19): https://pcapotomac.org/images/dV/FebruarydV2017.pdf

I researched the area hotels. Also, if you are registered, Potomac DE sent out discount information. We're staying at the Microtel because it's the closest hotel with food options nearby.

What is going on with the transmission?

If out for rebuild, you should use 2-3-4 steel synchro. $$$ but worth it

Are we doing the full combined track or only the North or South track? It does not specify in MSR.
