More thoughts this morning.
- the schedule of practice and quad racing Saturday and bike racing Sunday for the Battle Series was awesome. I enjoyed watching the quad racing as a spectator as well.
- the UTV invitational at BC was freaking awesome! Those guys have skills! AND BALLS
- as I said above, I think this is the best BC RACE track we have seen. The layout was awesome and good combination of technical areas (sand whoops!!), jumps, and higher speed sections. Loved it and the layout promoted good racing
- the parking at BC is awesome now. Previously a weak point of the facility, they have clearly done a ton of work clearing woods and expanding parking. The parking section near the first turn and staging is fabulous.
- something really cool about BC that I didn't think about before is the start. You have the start straight and the second full straight before you enter the track. So what? Here's the good thing about that -- you have two full straights in which any carnage would not affect the actual race. It's basically impossible for a race to get red-flagged due to issues from the start. That is pretty cool and key to running big events.
- motos clicked off with precision. No unnecessary delays, track crew all over the place and nobody was sitting around.
- water truck was cruising the pits keeping the pit roads watered. This is hugely appreciated and one of those little things that is easy to overlook. When I see tracks doing this I know they are ready for big time.
- handed out garbage bags at the gate to every vehicle, plus there were a ton of garbage cans throughout the pits. If you left garbage on the ground shame on you.
Briarcliff is ready for a LL Regional for sure. Please apply for one for 2016! Thank you guys for working so hard, it is obvious that most, if not all, of the money being made at the track is going right back into the facility for improvements. I've raced all over the country and never been shy about posting suggestions for tracks that I see done at other places. I know Jeremy will probably get on here and say "there's more work needed" but really you guys have done one hell of a job and I can't think of anything more at this point to improve.
WELL DONE AND THANK YOU!
