One Lap of Grattan Raceway

These pages are intended to illustrate the appearance of the track from a car while driving the line. John Horner courageously shot the photos while being driven around the track (in an Audi, of course). Although the car was being driven on (or near) the correct line, keep in mind that the photographer was sitting in the right-hand seat, and the perspective is somewhat altered accordingly.

Start with the Introduction, or click on any one of the photos below to go to the enlarged version of the photo as well as a map indicating (with a colored dot) exactly where on the course the photo was taken and a graphic illustrating the relative speed at that point. You will also find a narrative describing the turn, the proper placement of your car, and providing cautionary notes.
