Are you talking about the esses?

Tommy - make sure you let me know when you are in the area. I'm just over an hour from Mid Ohio, but it is nothing for me to drive down there to meet up with you.

no the esses are on the back of the circuit, after the second straight.

The chicane is right after the start, after a 90* left right after you go under the bridge. some people call it the keyhole when its open, but sometimes its closed.

Sounds good. We are planning on going away that week since I'm off work, but things may change since hubby isn't working yet. We will just play it by ear.

OK. You threw me off when you said back stretch. I call that the front straight since that is where they start. Yes, the keyhole is pretty sweet. My favorite is the carousel.

ahh well it all depends on who you talk to. I alwasy figure the long straight is the main straight, but usually people say the first straight is the one w/ the start point.

Either way, that chicane can completely change the first half of that lap.

if you guys are gonna be down there i'll stop by to say hi for sure.

You are close enough we should meet before now. Hell, I've met more from outside OH than I have in OH.
