That’s kind of funny coming from WKA. They insure Jacksonville and it has a high speed banked turn (you shift into 5th gear as you exit it) that leads on to an 1100′ straight. Top speed is well over 90 mph. The straight ends in a 90 deg left hander and the fence is not 50 feet off the track. Ask Marc E., he went through the fence and almost ended up on 103rd Street a year ago. We were all concerned but the PA annoucement was kind of funny. I’ll let Marc tell the story.

I can’t imagine that your track would be any more dangerious than Jacksonville. That is the most dangerious track I’ve ever seen and WKA holds Manufacturers Cup races there! Three years ago, Bobby Wilson almost ended up on the roof of the building they have right on the track. If his kart hadn’t been flying bottom first, Bobby would be dead.
