Id gladly join HH if they'd repair/repave. Wonder if there is any possibility of that.

I think they are planning on improving the surface after they change the track layout due to a new highway going through the southeast corner of the property.

Might be some additional GT4's at COTA this weekend as the PCA TWS show might be canceled due to sinkhole at T6
Track owners are working hard as they don't want to refund the money

it is really really rough, which I hate because otherwise it would be a fun place to run the GT4. I too would join in a heart beat if it were resurfaced properly. As is, it actually hurts my kidneys and spine!!!

I think it was an ill conceived project to start with. It's built on the same soil as COTA, and at COTA they had to dig down 10+ft and laydown plastic to control the soil dynamics. Unless HHR does something similar, it's going to be the same ol story.

So many tracks end up becoming maint nightmares because someone thinks they can plop down some asphalt and paint and race on it. MSRH and Eagles Canyon are in that camp too, though MSRH has been actively repairing/repaving.

I guess I could take the i3 or the 535d . . . nah . . . I will take the GT4. Friday only for me as my in-laws are in town. Jim (father-in-law) is going to come hang out - he is a really great guy and an ex-Navy fighter jock.

We were toying with the idea of the trifecta at COTA, but we just have too many moving pieces in life lately...

You kids have fun!

Cheers
