land clearing has been done, blasting is ongoing. We were told that if everything went perfect there could be a couple of late 2014 events at the track. 2015 seem easier to achieve.

I know it's just the view, but it looks like it's all uphill.
And man, whoever took that video sure has crappy lines. :)

LOL!!! Matt, that's exactly what I was thinking. Climbing, climbing, more climbing? Where the decent to get to the original point? Regardless, still super cool!!

Huh...anyone have any ideas how much it's costing to build it this way? Looks like it will be a pretty hefty price tag. It'll be unique when it's completed.
Also, I know I've heard it and forgotten, but who ended up taking the project over when the previous investor fell through?

Are the rock faces going to be as close as they look in both the rendering and the animated track ride? Sorry to be a wet blanket, but run-off is usually something that improves a track.
I had heard there was a lot of blasting needed to make it happen, I hope those costs don't drive the price so high it has to go bankrupt a couple of times before it can be profitable. I've got my fingers crossed on this, I want to see it happen, but it won't be without challenges.

I was told it's just a computer rendition and there will be more run off room. Sure would be exciting to watch the first SM race there though otherwise!!!

Fred Ferguson runs with us in NER. He drives a very quick M3 in ITE and occasionally kicks my butt in ITA.

Fast Freddie is also a COMSCC guy as well. Yes, Abhi... he sometimes passes our ITA cars. Like once a lap.
