After riding there a couple of weeks ago, I personally thought the place was great. I have read a lot of comments about this turn and that turn, but do NOT have any problems with the lay out untill NOW

I had not thought about it as Scrivy has put it re, Passenger on the ground, or even a rider having a mechanical that biffed them off on the main Streight

There is potentuall for rider contact coming up the hill and past the pits entrance, as racers are racers and will push the limits, (AND FIND THEM) and this could Definately create the scene that Scrivy suggests.

Re the car crash SPOT, It would be a mirracle fluke for a bike to be any where nere there, but shite does happen, I bet within a couple of weeks that wall is modified to a curve, rather than a stop spot, these people building this place are in the RED HUGE, so any trouble/danger zones that can be recognised and modified to keep the customer coming and the dollar turning over, is in there best interest to invest in, and they are not fools.

My thoughts on the main streight to help elliminate/minimise potentuall disater

Just before Pit lane entrance, CREAT a false chicane for bikes and Side car racing, to slow the flow, this will reduce any chance of the rider/passenger scenario that Scrizy has pointed out, and his oppinion on it is very valid.

Now it is time to go find Air Fence sponsors to ellimate all Danger in the Zone

Interestingly, that's the plan eventually.

However the two people I trust most as pilots are not yet ready to make the move from solos.

One day mate......

Get fucked. I never pussied out, my stupid brother did. Although, I think he's in the midst of learning his lesson. Time will tell.

I guess the crux of the question I was asking was "if it is an issue isn't NOW the time to address it ?"
Now being whilst construction is still happening rather than after its finished.

Nah, what actually happened was Drew knew it'd only be a matter of time before the Honda turned you completely raving gay and he didn't wanna miss out on any of the suprise butt sex you solo riders seem to enjoy so much.

Can't see the attraction myself.......

Have had a ride there and the layout is great. After reading this thread, - the main comment of pertinance is that if there was an incident (onto or during the front "straight" / curve), there is potential for bikes n riders bouncing back into the racing line of following unsighted riders.
I would be good to see the pit lane entry waaaaaay down at the bottom of the hill also & eliminate the whole yellow line / pit wall end thingy as it is at the mo. Pitlane exit is fine.
Overall though - pretty darn good for a start, great surface, testing corners, and it keeps you thinking. We are all very lucky to have a multi-million dollar facility like this built for us to play on.
