Nelson Ledges Advice

March 10th, 2009

Was looking up a few reviews of the Longest Day at Nelson Ledges, which is the non-LeMons endurance race that’s held at that track. Most of the good info is in different forum posts, like this one. One thing that becomes abundantly clear: the Carousel turn is taken at high-speed, and God help you if you get outside on it, especially at night. It gets covered with marbles, which puts you on the grass. And grass at night in the fall in Ohio is covered with dew. Which makes the grass as slick as snot. The only thing that stops your car at that point from becoming one with the trees is a tire barrier.

Lack of cornering discipline at MSR Houston led to few problems, if any. Maybe a bent door or a black flag, but that’s about it. Lack of cornering discipline at Nelson Ledges will likely cost you your ride. The Lamest Day is going to be the greatest endurance contest in LeMons history.

I can’t hardly wait.
