Looks great, but there's an awful lot of big rocks around! Will be good to see what it looks like after all the safety barriers are installed.

Doubt many Vipers will be able to use the track unless they have some serious packing in the exhaust system to reduce noise?

Track looks perfect for Viper. Reminds me of Limerock Park but without residential homes near the track. Noise will not be a problem. Unlike Limerock there doesn't appear to be many safe runoff areas on this new track. That will certainly up the pucker factor. :D

Being carved into the rocks like that is part of what makes it beautiful, but it sure comes at a cost. All the more reason to drive it carefully -> slow is smooth and smooth is fast :cool:

Agree with Tony - running Vipers shouldn't be a problem. It's in the woods, 7 miles from the pike.. basically on a mountain. My vipers stupid loud and I haven't had a problem running at other tracks in the area (which were much closer to local residents)

Here's the layout - 7138

We have got Palmer circuits in the UK but sadly the DB restrictions are too low for Vipers 105 static test or 87.5 drive by :(

I'm not sure what the Palmer circuits are in the UK, but I believe this track is owned by a limited liability company created by the NER (New England Region) of the SCCA (at least that's what wiki says). The name Palmer comes from the town it's located in..don't quote me..but that's how I understand it
