I've only been there once (back in 07) and it was the full course (23 turns, 4.6 miles I believe). It's an awesome track (super wide) and the facilities are stout but I thought the track lacked a bit of character.

We even set a record on the trip back; Tooele to San Diego in 11.5 hrs! No

Wow you're really close, 24 turns 4.5 miles. Most ppl here don't even know that fact.

I do agree w you on that one. I have done both West & East track several time (mostly East). I got use to East, but still trying to get use the West. Tarzan Yamada said (when he came for GT Live) that West track is more fun than East track... but Ken Guchi said East is fun for drifting (again from GT Live).

I was off on the length but it is 23 turns. The only reason why I know is b/c I had to count them. T7 (triple apex) kept throwing me off b/c T6 and T9 were similar the first couple sessions.

I like tracks with elevation changes and thats why I like Willow Springs and Button Willow a lot even though the pavement is all eaten up.

I have yet to try Thunder Hill and Infineon (Old Sears Point) up in Northern California and the new track in the South East of California called Chuckwalla. I still need to get the Duc in track worthy form so hopefully I'll get to ride CVR in Oct.

Well damn, that tell you, I don't even know MMP. lol but I thought somewhere in MMP site that said 24... let me check

http://www.millermotorsportspark.com/explore/maps/

Quote:
The road course is a 4.5-mile-long, 40-50-foot-wide, 24-turn layout that provides a variety of cornering speeds, from 50 mph to well over 100 mph. The fastest cars and motorcycles will approach 200 mph on the track's 50-foot-wide, 3500-foot main straight.
...but on the full map, it's only 23-turns. Well I guess, I'm not the only person messed it up. lol

That's actually 3 turns (triple apex) so it should be 7a - Demon, 7b-Devil and 7c-Diablo like how Willow has 4a and 4b for Budwiser Balcony and 5a and 5b.
