Road Racing Tracks - CW or CCW?

[racer_tim]

Joe, Thunderhill is ONLY run CCW with SCCA. NASA runs it both directions, and they also use the crows next (turn 5) bypass. So you can't compare times when they run it CCW.

While yaw is OK, excessive amounts of roll-axis and pitch-axis rotation suck.

Doesn't that get awful busy after the first lap ?

The Milwaukee Mile oval CCW.

The Milwaukee mile road course CW.

Yes I'm sure, I ran the regional race there last year. The intent is to get it sanctioned for Nationals in 2008.

Milwaukee is like IMS.....they go CCW for oval racing but go CW for the road course.

Edit - Posted the same time as David...who also raced there last fall

Is there any relation to predominant race track direction and where manufacturers put the gas filler?
