Ironman (regional)

[john lilly]

Does anyone have any thoughts or comments on Ironman, we are planning on going to that regional? I have heard some good things about it but also some real negative comments. Dirt start? Elevation? Track prep? Lap times? Width...etc..

Rough. Better get down to high point for every race they have until the regional. Rough on rough. For days rough.

I raced there very first regional in 14. Besides being isanely rough the roost hurt beyond words. I literally had bruises and welts from my shoulders to mid thighs. I had issues with the track going in and out of the shade. The track got so rough Davey Combs drove up the Red Bud after Friday practice to pick up more track markers to block people from using the water truck lanes. Of course the track should hold up a little better after 2 years and a few races later.

There's no preparing for that rough of a track. Loretta Lynns was nothing compared to Iron Man that year.

I just wish is was the 2nd weekend of June like the regional last year.... I always have military training the first weekend.

I was there in '15 for the regional and rough is an understatement.
