Not sure why the wall scares everyone coming out of 17...just don't early APEX and don't go 10/10ths through it. I'm more worried about the wall going CW. Much faster and then the curbing that could upset your car. The launch going CW is pretty f'ing annoying. The only thing I like better going CW is that T17 and T16 give you another opportunity to slide the car with throttle. Plus, its easy to find days going CW. Not so easy to find days going CCW. I digress. I'll sign up for this and skip Driver's Edge on 8/9 Sep. I'll be kicking myself if TDE goes CCW.

Since we did CW on the MSR in May, I vote CCW for August (just to balance-out the spin effect on the planet).

Versus T17 which you can easily see the wall coming up to gut check. Then there's tons of room to brake into 16. If you are extra paranoid you can run really wide. Plenty of time to scrub speed. Even if you early apex 17 and the back end steps out, you're more likely to go towards the inside of the track...unless you lift. I've seen 3 spins/offs there going CCW...every car went to the inside. Just don't early apex T17 and give it the beans. Add more throttle once you KNOW you'll make it.

Ok you guys, let me flip a coin and decide which way we'll run. When I post the details on the event I'll post the direction as well. We should have everything sorted out in a couple of days......Phil

Personally, I prefer to the flow of CW to CCW, but that's just my opinion.

You have the advantage here.....if you've never run either way you won't know the difference. It's the guys that have their laps dialed in that will suffer. I'm leaning CCW but let's see what happens............Phil

Normally, convertibles need to have either a hard top or a functioniing automatic roll bar (pop up style).
Not sure what specifically is required with the M Club or MSRH.
