Kind of unsettling watching all the Nascar guys slipping and sliding on the new surface at Las Vegas International Speedway. Yes, I know, the new Goodyear rubber was way too hard and sucked badly, but I do presume that these guys know how to drive.

Having them describe the track as an Ice Skating Rink wasn't a confidence builder.

Now, I presume that most of the layout I will be driving on isn't on the oval, but the road track attached to that. But I was looking forward to some high speed runs on the oval.

Could be interesting. At least it's someone else's car (but my body.)

Are you going out there for a track event?

Racing school in a few weeks. Thought I'd get a refresher, since I haven't raced in open wheel cars in about 20 years. Just Formula 2000s, but should still be fun.

jrfootin might have some perspective on oval tracks because I think the homstead track day layout involves portions of its oval.
