I hope you guys have fun at Willow this weekend.

FYI... The chicane/waterfall is gone from Streets. They took out the curbing and paved it flat. You can go side by side up or down the hill now in a straight line. It will be really fast coming down now.

What chicane? I've always gone straight ignoring the chicane :lol: Ask dusty Dan Andrews and Johnny R who tried to follow me :D. You need good brake to make the right hand turn at the bottom of the waterfall. The good thing is I won't bend rims without the last century curbing they had there.

I am looking forward to drive the 911 and Streets again this weekend.

Right hand turn? I thought it was a left after the chicane? Maybe I am not remembering where the chicane is...after the bowl and long straight?

Bummer. That was one of my favorite things at Streets. If you did it right, it was a straight and you had phenomenal speed through the waterfall to that left. If you did it wrong, boy you paid for it (2 bent rims many moons ago before I got it right.)

My second favorite thing is the bowl CCW. If you had the sac to hang on to it just right it would launch you right up the tailpipe of some turtle still trying to find where the track goes next. Hee hee! Good times.

Hope they never change that!
