Don't think I've seen it posted here, so check it out. Very interesting! Looks like significant new dirt and some width changes.

Weather will be hot for PNW Saturday - 90 forecast - so I'd expect it will be wet in the morning.

I hope they redo the section after you come back over the road jump.

I heard they threw in the S turns there because there were complaints about the speeds coming down that hill into the woods. It's pretty one-line and narrow the way it is now though. You go inside/inside and no one can pass you.

They need to make the track wider there and berm the outsides at least 3' tall. But then it's pretty much like the section after the ski jump. Hard section to change.

It used to be better before the change. Now you come over that jump. And it funnels into one line more likely now to get hit then before. It was a whole lot more fun before too.

I miss the old layout with the Chuck Sun/Catchers Mitt/Leach’s Lump/Hillsboros…always thought that whole section was more fun than the current layout.

I agree as well. That should never have been changed

The hat pin thing about dad Huffman is cool, it was a nice gesture to the fans! And no joke about how the place could easily have been turned into a subdivision and golf course, it's remarkable they didn't throw up the white flag with all the stuff they went thru some years ago!
