The pavement races have more variation, but I dont know as much about them because i only run dirt.
Title: Re: cali focus racing pavement and dirt Post by: midmad68 on July 28, 2008, 09:13:53 PM car counts here in cali have been going up on the dirt. we've been averaging about 16 cars with a season best of 19 i think. unfortunately we didn't get too many races on the schedule this year, and it's left us with only three left. if i could make a suggestion, i would recomend coming out for the september 6th race at bakersfield. this is a 1/3 mile track that's high banked with plenty of room to race and pass. as far as pavement, there are tracks that are comparable to anderson in size, but they're pretty flat. we have run our dirt car on pavement a few times with some success, but most of the cars are pavement specific. we have a lot of new faces in the series this year since they droped the age limit. we too have a few veteran drivers which makes our series very diverse.

Irwindale is a low banked 1/3 mile "circle" Las Vegas is a 3/8" high banked "D" shape (Fastest track we run on) Rocky Mountain Raceway is a 4/10 Mile oval with good banking (just a tick off Vegas for Speed) Altamont is a tight, 1-groove, bumpy 1/4 mile oval. Roseville is a good 1/3 mile oval track with multiple grooves, high bank in 3/4 & lower in 1/2 Lake Havasu is a 1/4 mile oval with an abrasive surface (bring extra tires) Blythe is a 1/3 mile track with no word to describe its shape. Also abrasive. Asphalt cars have won the most races in general, but the driver with the most wins (Alex Bowman) is in a combo car that he runs on dirt & pavement with the same car. It just comes down to set-up & driving to make the combo cars competitive. We can help you with gear selection, hotels, etc to make your trip easier. Just ask on this Forum. |
