    CAMA / New Track Layout!

    You begin your riding career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

    Yup, should be fun!

    I forgot to mention, this graphic isn't 100% scientifically accurate, but I have walked the "track" and I can say that it is very close and accurately represents the fun factor.

    If you can get me some drawings, preferably with topography, I can model it in 3D and even do a "point of view" from the rider and take a lap...

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Looks as if for anyone to get to the grid that they will need to "lap" the track. How does this compare to other venues?

    That would be way cool to check out.

    More turns though, less straightaways.
    (High speeds scare me in my old age, but falling down in corners still comes naturally.)

    I don't think it's terribly unusual. I remember it being that way at Laguna Seca and Miller and Second Creek. I've ridden Pueblo before, but can't remember for the life of me how you get back on the track. Ha!

    Dean, I'll see what types of additional drawings I have access to.

    That's like... the lamest roller coaster tycoon coaster I've ever seen!

    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Here it be...

    You can't see the elevation changes at this scale. Kind of like flying over in an airplane.

    It should look pretty cool once I animate a lap around the track...

    Re: CAMA / New Track Layout!

    The crap animation I made came out at 11 megs and it won't upload to my Comcast account.

    Can anyone host it or tell me how to make it smaller. I tried MS video comp.1 and MPEG4 2. Still came out the same size...

    Re: CAMA / New Track Layout!

    I'm guessing about 2 hrs. from Loveland? Will this be run like IMI (no bike prep) or PMP (no antifreeze, mirrors removed, safety-wired, etc.)?

    I think it needs more corners too though.

    Re: CAMA / New Track Layout!

    From my understanding operation will be much more like PMP than IMI....

    Gonna be a blast with the elevation changes.
