Has anybody ever built a "tribute" race track kind of like those Tour 18 golf courses that feature replicas of the toughest holes from golf courses around the world, but all in one course?

You could have a track with Mosport's Turn 2, the corkscrew from Laguna Seca, the Loews hairpin from the Monte Carlo GP, maybe a long straightaway followed by Turn 1 at Indy...

Hallett says they built it with certain parts like other famous tracks.

I did a DE once there and it's OK for a Taurus. Might be better for a Miata type car though.

Don't fluff me up and leaving me wanting. Details, good man, we need details!

Non-LeMons event, right?

yes for the love of God more info. Give us a name, or web site, hell even a made up facebook page, but give us something we can follow

Re: next year's schedule

UsedCarRacing posted the official announcement last night on Facebook.  They are running a 24hour $500 car race at NL in April.  I think the date is April 24-25.  No other details have been released yet.

I really wish the race would have been later in the year.  There is no way we will be ready for an April NL race.  Our car is hibernating until April with no access to it. sad

Re: next year's schedule

This is unexpected but possible for us.  I would have preferred a little more notice too, but just so we can spread the costs a bit more.  hmmm

Re: next year's schedule

With such short notice it would be nice to have a rules set posted too.  We can all assume its similar to Lemons but there's not much prep time and no rule set to build by so that is a bit worrysome.
