    I was hoping GM DOES own it... as in, their terrible budget skills would lead to them spending way more than they should have :)

    Pratt & Miller designed this track, the people who manufacture the Team Corvette Racing LeMans cars.

    Also this is only the 2nd track EVER that has been asphalted using 3d technology It will have less than an 1/8th inch tolerance thickness throughout the entire track. The other 3d track? COTA.

    Midwest cafe racers will be the first bikes there (Oct. 25-26), and here is their pricing.

    Track Day (Advanced Registration) $195.00
    Track Day (Trackside) $235.00

    From dealing with the folks there, I can say I'm sure they will be open when they say they'll be open. They are very on-point and professional - I think it's going to be a pleasure dealing with them.

    The main reason I didn't take any fall 2014 dates is simple schedule conflicts between what they had available and what was open on our schedule.

    Anyway - I will want reports from you once you're there!!!!!

    Yes, almost 2/3rd of the West track and half of the East track is already asphalted. Guardrails are up, and pits are done, parking lot is done.

    I'd send that in a pm. But thanks. You're not gonna hurt their feelings. As long as you don't advertise for it ;)

    NCM is reporting a self-imposted sound level of 103db at 50ft, which they got from the National Rulebook of the Sports Car Club of America.

    Source: I have a copy of email sent to another track provider from the GM of NCM Motorsports Park, forwarded to me by said provider.

    Question: How does that match up with motorcycle exhaust sound levels? I'm going to test out my GP exhaust tonight and see what kind of sound levels that relates to, but can anyone with experience speak further? This may be one of those "oh uh" moments that nobody has considered yet.
