Ya, that looks killer. I was working on nailing some curbing at my trackday on Tuesday to find my line though a double apex turn at my track. at first It was a bit diffucult because I was so used to taking the wrong entry and line

I don't like getting that close to the curbing, cause at BIR, it's not really puck friendly. It's like little speed bumps along the inside of the track, could rip your leg off.

Same with the other track we have near Vegas. You could proly do it, but they're gnarly.

Yea, the curbs are nice at LVMS. They're not even sawtoothed. Pahrump, on the other hand, has some big ass curbs. I still hit them with my knee, but I'm not all the way on top of them like I am at LVMS, I've seen a few people catch their footpegs on the curbs and take a geology tour.

Oh yea. How come you were out at LVMS with us and you didn't even come up and say hi?!?! We even had food!

I was thinking about it but I didn't have any of my gear and I didn't have $2500 deposit just to rent one. Maybe next time
