JULY MOTORSPORT RANCH DIRECTION CHANGE
The July 23-25 CMRA event at Motorsport Ranch that was originally scheduled to be run in the clockwise direction will now be run counter-clockwise. Other than the track direction the event schedule will be unchanged.
As most are aware the 1.7 mile course at Motorsport Ranch was recently resurfaced. Unfortunately bumps have appeared in several areas that have required grinding and other areas have required patching.
CMRA officials visited Motorsport Ranch on June 30th and performed a thorough inspection of the surface. Two areas of concern for motorcycle competition were identified. Those areas are the entrance of Turn 2 and the area between Turn 6 and Turn 5 in the clockwise direction. The high entry speeds in Turn 2 and the extreme lean angle while braking in the Turn 6 – Turn 5 area prompted the decision to change to the counter-clockwise direction for the July event. No other areas of concern were identified.
Motorsport Ranch owner Jack Farr and Management are working with their paving contractor to resolve these issues. This will likely be in the form of a complete repave prior to the August 27-29 event.
The CMRA and Motorsport Ranch have enjoyed a long relationship spanning 20 plus years. We are confident that these issues will be resolved moving forward.
