So Everything must be in order saftey wise, your gonna get less passes then at Cecil or others, will cost you more money.

However it is a VERY nice facility.

Maplegrove is always packed and tech is pretty good. Crapitol tech isn't that bad just need good break cause very little breaking room. Mir I think I was there... Is that the one that was built on a landfill?

IN for MIR or crapitol. Obviously MIR takes the cake...but it's a hike for most of you.

capitol has been treating some of you nice lately...so i'm down to go even though i really don't like the place.

Dam what are you trapping 150 plus? Crapital has 3 turnoffs and I usually make the second turnoff without a problem on skinny tires....

Cecil gives you the least amount of stopping room or maybe cecil really does run downhill as the rumor is...

MIR or ATCO would be my choice of facilities but cecil has the best young snapper running around on a friday night.

stopping at cecil @ 170mph with no parachute was not a pleasant experience

I doubt the downhill rumors...I ran nearly identical ets at MIR and Cecil

Cecil is great. Go there all the time, granted Im only 30 minutes away. Its best on a Saturday T&T when they actually prep the track.

Atco isnt bad, but too far for a weeknight.

75 & 80 is fun, just be prepared to go airborne after going uphill on the shutdown. THAT place is redneck lol

Never been to Capital, Maple Grove, or MIR. E-Town sure is nice though.

MIR is well worth the Trip. Maple isn't. Capital is about the same as Cecil I think as far as prep

That's a 2+ hour ride for me. I'll think about it.

Car needs some work first, namely a new intercooler and a new rear swaybar. I also need taller DRs.
