<VV> Portland Auto-x

[Bob Earls]

Greetings, all.  We've designed the course and gotten approval from Warren.  It will be on the back lot of the Expo Center.  The dimensions of the lot are 585 feet long by 236 wide.  The course will start with long, gradual left into right sweepers (total about 250 feet) going into a right-left-right chicane, left-right-left esses, decreasing radius right turn, 60 foot straight, left then right S-turn into a 40 foot radius 360, sharp right then left, mild 3-turn slalom, hard left, 70 foot straight, hard right, 90 foot straight, stop box.  The first half will be fast, the second half not so much.  It should be fun and challenging for both modified and stockers, with, of course, smooth driving styles being well rewarded.  Bleachers with a full-course view will be provided for spectators.

The Expo center is less than a mile from the Red Lion Hotel, and food concessions will be provided.  Hope to see you there.
