I ran Thunder Hill in clockwise (reverse) direction

Not a darn thing to use as reference at turn 5. Turn 8 is now a downhill dog-leg right hand turn.

Could you compare your times by going either way? Which is faster? or were you using the bypass and therefore couldn't compare the 2.

I cannot compare lap times just like you mentioned, I ran CCW with the by pass. and I ran CW with the eagle's nest.

For me an my low powered car, I think CW (reverse) is better between 7-2. I could really close the gap and keep/gain momentum in that section.

I can imagine that the really only slow part would be the hill between 10 and 9, and then it's all downhill from 9 to 6.

Just got laid off today, so my racing career is on hold for a while, along with the damage from Portland. I'm taking over for the SF Giant's June "swoon" this year.

I think reverse TH is a blast. I have lots of in car video where I ran it with the bypass. I wasnt very fast but still had a good time. Turn 1 is a little hairy though. I ran off track and got back on but gave the TS people a bit of a scare.

Check out the 2003 results from the Open Track Challenge. www.opentrackchallenge.com Both days (4 and 5) used the Eagles Nest. At a glance, it looks like the times are nearly identical.
