That will be great if so, because even the figures I listed for total area allowed for a 33 ft. wide access lane around the right side of the building.

Hmmm Park trailers, tow vehicles and crew around the back of the building and use the side away from the ball field/tennis courts for paddock/grid and access to rear. Still a lot of pavement to work with for a course.

I agree except for the part about access to the rear from the side lot. If you look at the first three pictures you can see how steep the bank is between the sidewalk and the building. That's the way you have to go to get from the side lot to the rear. On the bright side, there is no curb on the side opposite the tennis courts so I think empty trailers could be backed onto the grass. If needed, the rear lot could be used but it would be a long walk.

WOW. Awesome lot. I bet we could get some fast courses going there.

We need to "advertise" for events up that way. Especially if there is a 'southern Kentucky" region or something.

I'm fired up! :D

I hope Godfather's Pizza across the street still has the Sunday pizza buffet deal they had when I was staying up there. :P

I think this is the closest region. http://www.ckrscca.org/ They are based in Lexington, KY.

Looks like they don't have a message board.

The Blue Ridge Region (VA) may also have some members who would be interested. I'll keep them up to date.

wow.. um i know im new and stuff but ive been trying to find some auto x stuff for a while now. i just stumbled across this today. it would be so great if you could get lmu. i only live like maybe five minutes from it (plus my fiancegoes there so im there often) and if there is anything i could do to help you guys out i would be happy to do so. as far as parking goes there wont be much of a problem, hardly anyone ever parks there on normal occasions, there is also plenty of other parking in other areas. it is especially easy on weekends because not many ppl are there, and during summer no one is there. but i do know that I and most of my friends would definatly come.

Thanks. That pic really helps me understand the lot a little better. Just hope that we get to keep it on the schedule. We need to find some LMU students who will adopt us so that as a student activity, we get more priority.

If we get the lot, a morning "weather report" would be of great help to us long travelers. :D
