This preliminary map may help some with orientation to the event facility and Race the Base. While the final Time Attack Road courses are not yet resolved, this should give everyone a general idea of what to expect. From the far left, off the map page, is the main runway start. The 1 Mile marker/Standing Mile finish line for the main runway is just about straight down from the Wet Drift Zone.
