What's the average (centerline) length of the track @ RAD?

The "riders line" length of Rad Canyon is almost exactly 1150' Which is around 150' longer than most tracks around the country. Factor in altitude for the sea level out-of-towners and it feels like 1400' to them :P

Thanks. My guess last night was 350M - I was half a meter off.

The indoor was around 700' long. The outdoor track is longer but remember you also have the HUGE starting hill to give you a push :D

so, maybe we turn this into "what's the best lube for the wheels?!" and I'll just coast around the track :P

Coast, pedal, pump... what ever you want to do as long as you are having fun :D

The positive that you need to look at is that you will get three months to get the track dialed in and build up your wind in time for the ABA Great Salt Lake National. Home track advantage always helps out.
