FYI, this event will run TWS clockwise.

Clockwise??? I didn't know that track could be run clockwise, I've only run it and seen it run counter clockwise

I just went out with the Porsche club last weekend and tried it clockwise for about 10 laps. Man, it a whole new track. I felt like such a nube! I hated waving all those Pooches around me.

The man who built TWS told me that the road course was originally designed to run clockwise....and some of the curb placements validate this. In my opin ion, it flows bettter....but straightaway speeds are a bit higher.

I too was there this past weekend with PCA, doing advanced instruction and coaching other instructors (some of whom will also be our Viper Days instructors). Had a blast!

EDIT: here is some in car video for those who haven't run it clockwise.

Thanks for posting that vid! I think I've run it that direction twice, but can't find my tapes.

 

[Dave Scott]

Sure. Sorry I only have 240hp to work with.

Here is one of my first times running clockwise. I feel it flows really well in the clockwise configuration. Definitely different.
