I was just there for the first time last weekend…great track! It’s so much more fun and interseting to drive on than BeaveRun. It looks like a dump…but with the new pavement, it’s pretty smooth all the way around. ![http://members.roadfly.org/mjs1/kmurph2.jpg](http://members.roadfly.org/mjs1/kmurph2.jpg) ---

what was your average speed? nelsons is said to be one of the highest average speed tracks in the country. i cant wait to head out. you should try to come with us, we have about 10 or so people already going. ---

I was running laps somewhere around 1:22-23 which is 88 mph…which isn’t too bad considering I only started track driving last summer. My speeds were as follows: Turn 3…90-100 mph. Turn 4…around 60mph in, 80mph out. Carousel Turns 6-9…85-90 mph. Back straight (turns 9-11)…125-130 mph. Kink (turn11)…115-120 mph. Turn 13…around 50-60mph By the end of the front straight (before turn 1), I was hitting 105-110. My friend (also in an e46 M3) who was with me was turning laps in around 1:15 which is a 96mph average speed…he was much faster in several parts…he was hitting 107mph in the carousel and around 140 down the back straight…and 137 mph through the kink…it will take me a while to get where he is…actually I will probably never get there. It’s a pretty fast track…overall, probably faster than BevaeRun but top speed wise, BeaveRun may be a little faster. “Mad Kao” in action ![http://members.roadfly.org/mjs1/jeff3.jpg](http://members.roadfly.org/mjs1/jeff3.jpg) Track Map ![http://www.opentracking.com/_borders/track%20map%20Nelson%20Ledges.jpg](http://www.opentracking.com/_borders/track%20map%20Nelson%20Ledges.jpg) ---
