Palmer Motor Sport Experience

Here's my fast lap at Palmer from 2 weekends ago.

Headed back this weekend. We'll see if the 2er can run faster than a 1:53 😁.

looks like a cool track, you might want to consider getting a solo or Harrys lap timer with an external (10 hrtz refresh) gps for more accurate lap times. The on board, or phone gps receivers I believe are all about 2 or 3 hrts and wildly inaccurate.

I use an external GPS right now.

I'll likely jump to an AiM solo later this year.

It is an awesome track......likely will be one of the best in the country in the next couple years.

Here's another video from this weekends Time Trial event.

The car was great and I was able to improve my best lap to a 1:51.6 and finished first in class.

Can't get enough of Palmer Motorsport Park!

I have some upcoming track days at Palmer on the 25/26th of June with BMW CCA. Any others joining ?

I'll have to hit it someday, maybe for a chump, nasa or something. Too far to drive.

Man I would be afraid if I overshot an apex my paint would be toast, looks like gravely rocks, we have a small track here that has sand with gravel right outside the rumble strips. I hate them for that, can't push it without the thought of a respray for he rocker panels.

You ain't kidding about the gravel rocks. Such a dumb idea, they have started actually putting rumble strips in certain areas where those rocks were, because obviously people were getting a little off-road and kicking up rocks onto the track. Throughout the track sessions you would constantly have to change lines and be aware of the mess on the track. I'm surprised no one took one to the windshield.

Growing pains for a new track, the layout, elevations are beautiful.
