    VIP Seats for D1GP USA Anaheim Are Completely Sold Out

    D1GP USA has announced that the VIP seats for the Anaheim event are completely sold out. This is a pretty remarkable feat considering tickets went on sale just one month ago and the event is still over a month away. With the rest of the venues’ VIP tickets not far behind Anaheim and bleacher seating being gobbled up quickly, it is generating an early indication of enormous fan support.

              That looks cool. Make sure you have tons of restrooms though. The line for the restrooms at HIN Anaheim was 30 people deep all day long. That's not cool. People started pissing along the fence.

              From the diagram, you only have 1 restroom area.

                    So, what is this?

                    3rd gear entry or something?

                    top of third or so.

                      Brian,

                      To give you an idea of the scale of this track and the available ramp up room for speed, please direct your attention to the small burgundy colored square towards the top half of the layout. The one that says Stage (if you can read it). To the immediate right of that square you'll notice a few rectangles. A long one on the top and bottom, one says "Judging" and the other says "SVIP". Each of those rectangles represents a 53' foot car transporter. So apply that scale to the crazy long runway and you'll see that there can be some very high speeds achievable on this layout. I think the ramp up area is about 1000 ft in all actuality. A lot of room to go really fast.

                        I don't want to scroll up to look.


                        So, what are we talking???
                        65mph.

                        75mph?



                        I'm not good at right turns.

                          If his description is correct, you're probably looking at 65 MPH.

                            65mph if your slow. That is a 80 to 90 mph entry speed. Cars with 300 to 500 Hp will have no problem with that entry speed. It is the same distance we had at the D1 event in vegas.

                              I was thinking the same thing....

                              Is the media going to have access all around the track or just the spots labeled media?

                              Also are you going to use D1 style rumble strips or big *Censored**Censored**Censored* baracades that you can't get a clear shot through?
