It's at the end of "the chute". I was going 35ish MPH, by the time I got to that turn. Other riders come in hotter than that (my lap PR is 4 minutes slower than KOM).

In large part because I've never liked my school colors, nor the general aesthetic of the jacket style.

Spent two nights there during an organized tour. I did not ride the track, but we did camp at the school right near the racing history library, or whatever it's called.
I had always envisioned it as a quiet New England-like town. I was sure wrong.

But in college, there was a fashion for those of us with varsity jackets to wear them over a hoodie, so I did get some use out of it. It's still at Mom and Dad's house, 45 years later.

To get ours you just had to pay for one.

IIRC, to get a jacket, you had to Letter in 2 sports. I managed - BARELY - to letter in football senior year, and then in track in the spring, so I got my jacket AFTER I graduated, or at least so close to graduation that it was already too hot to wear it!
But in college, there was a fashion for those of us with varsity jackets to wear them over a hoodie, so I did get some use out of it. It's still at Mom and Dad's house, 45 years later.

I only got the one, I think for some UIL brass ensemble stuff I was a part of. I would have had to pay for mine, so that definitely played a part in why I had no interest in having one.

What’s the grade at turn 1. Thinking about it makes my knees buckle.
Dont forget to say a few nice words for Francois Cevert at the esses.

I got probably 10 hours into an instrument rating, it's a whole different ball game especially back before GPS. Autopilot helps a lot, I did all my IFR training without any aids like that. Probably why it burned me out so bad.
