How did that venue work out? Good surface, etc? I couldn't make that one b/c of some crazy chit right now but I should be at the next.

surface was pretty easy on tires. size is usable, but we had to make the course within the constraints of the building/fuel tank and the dropoff that went onto the pit road.

it's nice because it's a racetrack and it's not a terribly long drive (about 2.5hrs towing)

Did anyone end up getting out onto the bank?

no. we had to pit on the road leading into the track because the only other option was the sandy lot outside the fence. if we wanted to run the bank we would've had to take all of the trucks/trailers/spectators and move them outside the fence which would've been a big headache. and after the comp we didn't really have time anyway

I had a really good time. It was good fun with a small group of folks.
