[Shotimes] Re: 2006 CONVENTION

The track isn't quite as varied, but you will be able to carry much more 
speed on the main straight, and going from drag strip to regular track 
to parking lot can be something to get used too.  But as I say, I have 
never met a track I didn't like, some have different charms, but they 
are all fun, and the people in the Memphis area that run this track all 
the time (the F-Body club, SCCA, etc) say they love it.
