The grass is even worse so dont ever go off track there.

Pavement at Hallett is pretty poor too. Its more of a mom and pop track. But for 100 bucks for a trackday + 20 for a transponder, you can't complain too much.

I have only run the long course, 3.1 miles with a 1 mile front straight that also serves as a dragstrip, and my balls only let me hit 155 on the front straight. The big dogs are wide open, fastest recorded speed at the apex of T1 is 186 mph.
When 600cc racers ask the local "pros" where the braking markers are for T1, they calmly reply... "Turn 2".

While I have not taken my bike to any of them yet...these all are my "home" tracks...

Three tracks at one place. Willow Springs - Big Willow (have not driven there yet), The Streets (so far my favorite), and Horse Thief Mile...



California Speedway...



And the next track I am visiting, Buttonwillow...



When I do get the bike out it will be either at Buttonwillow or The Streets.
