That's really yet to be determined as we are still trying out different designs. Looking for the right mix of flow and technical.

There are too many corners, there should only be 2 or how will the nascars cope? And they should only be left turns, because I heard nascars can't go right. Billy Bob won't be happy.

Looks like fun. Especially that 3-9 run.

Leary of the kink at the end of the straight when running counter clockwise. It goes right into pit exit area where cars are gonna be on line and dealing with the merging and such. Lots of sadness would happen there is my guess.

Same for pit exit the other way. Putting the cars right onto the racing line may not be the best idea.

Not sure how to do it with paddock/pits on outside of track though.

the planning is awesome, can you talk about financing? What does it take to take it from planning to a completed project?
country club deal, revenue development bonds, PE funding, etc?

It's going to take investments from the racing and DE communities to make it happen. You can read about it on www.clubtrackholdings.com

Needed disclaimer: Neither I nor PCA can make any recommendation on any of the investment opportunities. Communicate with CTH if you are interested, and make prudent decisions on how you invest your money as you always should.

All that matters is that is prudent for you. The fact that you are insane is not relevant.
