[Shotimes] Re: SHO/SVTOA track day this summer iat Blackhawk.

[Donald Mallinson]

Brian,  I got a couple other e-mails asking where the track is.

It is at Beloit, IL/WI (town on the Il/Wi border) just north 
of Rockford, IL, West of Chicago and South of Madison, WI.

Nice 1.95 mile track with 11 turns, but they are labled as 
seven...go figure.

Top speed for a mostly stock SHO is about 110 to 115 mph, 
modded cars can top 120.  It is somewhat tough on brakes, 
but then, what track isn't!  Very nice 2nd and third gear 
track (just touch fourth on the main straight) that has 
average safety (some trees and things to get into if you get 
stupid) and is a lOT of fun.
