It was my first time at Memphis International Raceway. It was with the PCA Mid South Region. I went with a group of BMW guys from Little Rock. The track had been paved a few days prior and we popped it!
I was talking to one of the event organizers on the first day, and he was talking about the gravel and rough spots on the old track. He stated cars were taking a beating with headlights being cracked, cars being chipped badly, tires being chewed up, and windshields being cracked. He had just gotten the windshield issue spoken when a driver walked up and said "He had become the first casualty". A bolt had flown up and cracked his windshield with some pieces going into the cabin. It was a freak item and no other reports during the weekend.
A couple of laps. I was normally at around 135 - 142 at end of the straight coming out of "Grants Tomb" as they call it. It isn't a highly technical track..but it was a lot fun. If you have the opportunity to give MIR a shot- I say go for it!
