New track for SWFT & Zhooligan...
Check out the arial view of Reno-Fernley Raceway. It's due to open in May. Just to give you an idea of how much fun it would be on the 12, the front straight is supposed to be twice as long as the front straight at Thunder Hill. (Isn't that just a wet dream waiting to pop?)

Looks like it could be fun! For years I have raced the Oldtimer National Moto Cross race in Fernley over Labor Day Weekend. Now there could be another reason to go to Fernley!
I would hope the entry onto the straight is out of the 90 degree turn and the end of the straight is the left hander into the checane! The straightaway looks like the kind you can balance your check book on!  Definitely looks like'a high speed layout.!

The last I heard is that the flow of the track is counter-clockwise, so all of your wishes are gonna come true. The first track day there is being held on May 31's and is being put on by www.nasasportbikes.com. Rumors are already floating around about gixxer 1K's seeing 180mph on the front straight.
I'm spooging on myself right now just thinking about it.

At 180 the left hander at the end of the straight starts looking like a 90 degree turn!
