Just went up to Sickels this morning to get an estimate on the track length ... was a bit surprised ... when I pulled up, there were lots of blue&white cones set up ... turns out BMW has several days of driver training/car test up there ... signup and $$$ required, though ... :( oh well ... lots of nice BMW, with quite a few being the "M" version, there ... sure would be nice beating them things a bit without having to worry about cone marks :>

Anyway, got a rough estimate on the field and the runway ... according to my car's odometer, the field should be somewhere in the range of 100m wide and 500-600m long, the runway could be in the 700m range, so it might be enough for a quarter race ... I couldn't get on the runway this morning, as they had it blocked off with cones, so the runway is just a real rough estimate ...

So, if we want to do anything, we should decide quickly ... I guess people from FBE will need to know, and if we want to try to get a couple outside folks in, they will want to know more than a day or two in advance, too ...

Well, if it is 700 meters long, that is 300 meters more than needed, but that extra 300 meters would be used for slowing down!! ;)

1 mile = 1600 meters................
