From Russia With Love

Yeah, I know, I couldn't resist that headline. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the James Bond movies (I have to admit having a soft spot for Goldeneye though), I couldn't resist calling this post "From Russia With Love". Especially since ... who was P1 here last year? Oh right... :P

I love this layout because it's not very hard for me to drive and plus it's one of the tracks where the driver makes a bigger difference than the car, but that really long front straight does mean the car can come into effect. I'm talking specifically about Dillon Mosco's finish here last year. What ever happened to that guy? That was the only race he was marginally competitive in last year...

But yeah, down that long front straight into this really silly chicane/turn thing (they really should make that just one turn, guarantee you'll see more passing over there), there's a few corners that it's faster to take the outside than the inside due to the surface.

Then there's those twisting S curves that some people call The Serpent. Gradually getting faster. It's the perfect place to wreck someone on purpose. Hello Collin Evans! Hello Stan Rosenstreter!

By the way, the big news is that Kevin Dwyer is coming to TM Lights, and I'm really looking forward to watching him race. Kevin is like his father in that he just races for fun and for family pride, but he's a more reserved person. I really don't think he cares who he roughs up on the racetrack.

Which reminds me, I think he set a new track record at the Dwyer Speedpark in a GT1 car last weekend...

I just checked the time, practice is about to start!

Bye for now!
