      Is it a very equal triangle or does it have a long side?

      An equalateral triangle would favor short course set up, but a triangular course with one long side might make for real racing

        Seems like it was 2 long and a short last year and 2 short and a long the year before. If I am wroong David Weaver will correct me. The second turn is by the pits and the back straight heads straight at the beach pretty cool to watch.

          Waterford Ontario runs a triangle and it is a fun course to drive......

          We also ran a lesser triangle (trioval) at Sydenham and it was fun...

            yes . . .

            place name slips my feeble mind, but somewhere in West Virginny we ran a triangle course. Isosceles - two longs and a short. Seaford DE was a cool course - two buoys kissin' turns and two straights - go fast, dump a ton of speed, crank crank the wheel, on the throttle again! And of course Denton is kind of a triangle, BIG turn and two buoys kissin' turn.

                Haines City, Florida

                The Race course at the Camp Ground had two medium straights and one shorter one. I always enjoyed the course and it produced good races.

                  Forgot about Haines City . . .

                  that was a good course. My son Jeff won the Southeast Divisionals in 15ssH there. Supposed to be fast 15s down thar in Florida, but it wasn't even close - kid smoked `em.

                    bsoa runs a triangle race in oshkosh,Wi. It is a awesome course and a good drivers dream. Speed means nothing on this course although D hydros run 15 sec. lap times.

                      We ran a triangle race at Pleasanton, CA. Two short radius turns and a nice sweeper at turn 2. That was one of my favorites!

                        Yeah, the triangle at Waterford, Ontario is my favourite place to race. It's so much fun... a 3 pin sweeper, 4 pin and 3 pin all on one course. It's a blast. Something for everyone! The clock is half way down the longest straight. Everyone who comes seems to really enjoy it.

                          makes great racing

                          The champ series races on a one at the Soo. Its some of the best racing i've seen, next year i finally get to run on it. One problem has been the weather there, so the race site has taken a lot of slack. but its a great place and hopefully we put on a great show this summer.
