Nitro Valley Raceway

[Miller Time]

Wow.. what an awesome track. I was real intimidated on my first few practice laps, the jumps are super-sized. After getting some time in though I really fell in love with the layout. It has a few technical rythym sections that require you to hit each jump perfectly or the whole section goes bad.

The first is a panorama view of the track. I reduced it quite a bit but it's still pretty big, so you'll probably need to scroll it some.



The insane double on the backside. To give you an idea of scale, the backwall there is about 6'. To clear the double you needed to get about 15' distance in the air, and it put you up about 10' high.



The triple is actually much harder to land than the double. Not quite as far, but there is a short lead up out of a corner and it's not easy to carry enough speed into it.

I have not seen the new layout. It looks nice! They have always had aleast one good sized jump (meaning 15' long or longer). Glad you had fun Miller. Does the E-revos run as well as the nitros do on the track?

I want to see Steve-O get the Mugen out on the NVR Raceway!!!!!!!!!!

The E-Revo is capable of running with the nitros there, I'm not  Unfortunately we got rained out after the first heat, and my transponder wasn't plugged in so I didn't get any lap times and I only spent about 10 minutes on the track.  I was passed by one nitro truggy in that heat but that was all. That very long straight winded my truck out before the nitros, but I caught back up leading into the first corner. The E-Revo can take the corner a bit faster so I was getting on the brakes later, and then getting a jump out of each corner over the nitros. If I could learn to drive that track better I'm sure I could compete with them, it's definitely not a lack of capability on the truck.
