would be a lot more fun doing this with fellow S2KIers... hell, even my GF has decided to participate with her turbo mini.

I might be up for it. It will depend on my tire situation after Sunday.

Not a fan of ECR. Probably skip and save the money for a day at MSR.

I'm like 20 miles away from this place and I've only been twice. Its fun tracking down the higher hp cars in the corners but the straights are really long... I'll stick with going on the toy drive.

ECR is a horsepower course. Lots of long straights, and many of the corners that are there are similar. Not the most exciting track for a momentum car lie an S2000.

Personally I prefer MSR or H2R to ECR.

I enjoyed my day at ECR, but it didn't seem all that "technical". I think it would get boring after a few days. It's also the most brake intensive track I've ever been on. I've never toasted a set of "track pads" in one day before ECR.

What they said is for me as well.

I love HHR the best around here, but ECR is very simple. Long strait....slam on the brakes, make a very simple u-turn and on the gas again, then repeat.


I might go again if they ever finish the bridge section, It would cut out the 2 longest straits and make it a bit more technical.
