Here’s a couple of pretty good videos of the full MSR-Houston track that were shot recently. This is the same full-track configuration that we will be running, in the same direction. The Spec Miata video gives a good feel for the track at something pretty similar to the speeds that we’ll be running in the race, while the SCCA Formula cars gives a more open view. The SCCA video starts right about the timing/scoring platform on the pit straight, so the first turn is Sugar/Spice, if you want to line it up with the track notes map a couple posts ago, and I think the Miata one starts mid-Carousel.

One thing that’s clear from looking around You Tube is that we are going to see a lot of cars going off into Diamond Edge. They might as well open an access road straight from that turn to the penalty box. Let’s make sure we’re not one of those teams.
