Prepping for MSR
We'd discussed doing a video night to prep for the MSR in Sept.
I have some video and track maps I could bring. I'd also suggest we invite Bill of the BMW group, who is the absolute master of tires, setup, and has a lot of MSR experience.
We could do this at somebody's house, or better yet at the Hula Hut as we did for this week's TWS review.
It was a great night, and we dispelled several of the 911 myths being forced upon some of our folks by certain lousy and narrow-minded 911-centric instructors.
Plus, as always, Bill is always great to listen too. You will always learn a helluva lot!
This also speaks to the advantage of keeping our group relatively open - several of the local BMW folks (and a couple of others) are *very* serious and accomplished drivers/racers.

It's been a couple of years since I have been there so I have forgotten anything I thought I knew.. am interested in any tips..
Does anyone have a decent map and discussion of the line / corners? I'd rather spend my first morning confirming some study rather than in discovery.

Jeff, when did you want to do this? I'll be gone on the 16th and wont be back til the Sept 1st, so maybe we can do it before or after I'm gone?

I am absolutely there! Name the time and place. I agree I would like to be reviewing the first day rather than EVERYTHING being new. I've never done a track event so I'm sure I'll have enough going through my mind, so anything that I can study in advance would be AWESOME!
