Back in my home state this has begun and the following initial feel and look from photos that this is going to be a no nonsense track. I can't wait to drive it... very soon i believe.....

some excerpts from the page regarding new details..

Phase one design is complete and ground work has begun. Amenities will be scarce in the beginning but in the interest of moving this project forward we have decided that getting asphalt on the ground has to be our number one priority. When completely built out, phase one will consist of a 2.3 mile road course with paddock space, timing & scoring tower, turn stations, communication system and restroom/shower facility. Future development phases include an adjacent road course to be used independently or in conjunction with the phase one course, a 1/4 mile drag strip, sprint Kart road course, 3/8 mile oval and a club house facility

construction for the first phase road race course began this June. On site rock extraction and crushing took up the first few weeks of the schedule. Excavation began in early July with paving scheduled for late October. If all goes as planned should be ready for opening as soon as the weather allows, early spring of 2009.

The entire track has now been laid out, with the modifications suggested by our customers and consultant. The course will be fast, technical and will test the skill and courage of everyone who drives/rides it

haha nice. The Oregon Trail. That game was the shit!!

I like how they call the off camber turn, "the pucker factor"! Looks like an interesting config in CW or CCW.

That's closer than Mid-Ohio though! My parents live in Northern Oregon too, so I'll make a road trip there someday when it's done.
