Hi Mike
Thanks for posting this. Now I even know where it will be located (West Ware Road); I'll have to take a ride by sometime.

Hi, how's it going? I figure it's nice to think about the track as opposed to the 6 inches of snow and were getting. Hopefully if it stays cold enough this week we can get up ice racing this weekend with bmw club.

Oh, also in one issue of pitalk (the scca ner mag) they had a topographical view of the layout and elevation changes, if I can find a link ill post it.

Bingo just found it, this is the track map for anyone who wants to see it......

Looks like a nice layout....sort of reminds me of the Moroso kart track a bit.
Can't wait.
2010 is good timing, son should just about be 18, so he can drive the Cup car.

Very cool looking track map, Mike. Thanks for posting. Maybe someday I'll be on this track with you (with Paul in the pits asking 'why the heck can't Rick drive that car faster!?')

Track is under MEPA (Mass enviro protection) review. No surprises so far. Investors who qualified and showed interest will be getting contacted in a month or so.
