    during the early days of the project Nathan Gardella (our then Treasurer) said the Palmer the town was named after was a famous judge and thus we should find one real hard corner and call it "the judge".

    The one I call "Bergwerk" is because of the corner at the Nurburgring for which it is named. That was a corner that almost cost me a car. It's a blind corner and initially appears to open up, and then you get into it and realize you read it completely wrong.

    I figured "Oh S**t!" probably wouldn't be acceptable to print on a map of the track.

    On the 914 forum there's a guy with a handle of "roblav1" (no proper name listed in sig) that made the following comments in response to my post:

    "There is a corkscrew - I call it Fred's corkscrew"

    "T7 was changed from my original drawing because of a couple ferns found where I drew the track... "wetlands". That was originally straighter. The name ought to have something to do with that.

    "T8 is my favorite corner. I called it the "Archimedes screw"."
