The issue with the access road and pit's is that they are 4-5 miles apart... 
and frankly I can't imagine riding my Honda70 ( Passport ) to and from the 
end of the road...  so you might as well admit your willing to trash your 
truck..   Most newer Vehicles seem to handle it fairly well... it's just the 
older stuff that doesn't have any corrosion protection at all ....

Hot isn't an issue cause you just wear shorts and Sunblock... but Wierd as 
this may seem... I've freaking Frozen my ass off at the World of Speed 
Event....

Oh and Hey guys.... GO buy a copy of Hot Rod Magazine  this month.... it's 
been out 2 weeks or so... and enjoy the photoshot of the # 77 Lakester of 
Seth Hammond.....  it's going to be there with you guys... Make sure each of 
you goes by and lets them know your my friend... they will treat you like 
gold... ( right up till you tell them you know ME... LOL... )   Trust me you 
will never in your life see a better car or meet Finer folks... Seth and 
Tanis Hammond are both Helicopter Pilots as well....
