    yup i think thats why they dont do NHIS races anymore either, just way too much money since the track has been NASCAR-ized

    I run the HDC-5cx, its a slightly revised version of the original 3 disc. I love it, Yeah Gary and all them on horstman pretty much dont make DXL parts anymore so unless you have a 30 year collection of parts, I would just stick with modern clutches like the L&T or the HDC. 3 disc for pipe class, 2 disc for can or junior class. 1 disc is just a bad idea

    as a future note:

    twins would probably suffer here I will say, we were geared around a 6.5:1 ratio, But it is very easy on the clutches which is nice, and we were hitting 90MPH without bodies or any aero at all on the backstretch. and most of us have toast and beaten engines :P

    Just make sure you have newish belts, there is a couple tight corners that might stress the belts a bit more than bigger courses. I was running a 219 chain and an old DXL and survived the first day before we got microbursted resulting in game over for saturday.

    So if you want a smooth and technical course but dont want to sit at 14,500 rpms the entire time, this is the track for you. I wanna say it was around 1:30 lap times.

    Also the track was literally built last year, and they are planning on adding a bunch of facilities and electricity soon. So just be patient as we might have to rough-it again this year!

    Leave a post if you have any other questions about the track, ive raced it quite a bit.

    Yeah that was a fun weekend. It suck’s we have absolutely no road racing up here. From my house (New Hampshire) the closest road courses are Mid Ohio and Summit Point lol. 11 hours and 9 hours respectively.

    I caught wind the NHKA are going to try to organize another sort of event like that. Its difficult because of how tiny our volunteer and worker base is but yeah Its safe to say we can expect another full course thing next year for 2017. Other than that, it is literally tumbleweeds in terms of full course up here yet. Its pretty depressing lol! atleast we do have a fantastic short track series with the NHKA.
