Win a Trip to diamondback opening day

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby bigb7965 on November 13th, 2008, 11:00 pm
"...The park has graciously invited the lucky winner of an exclusive News Plus Notes contest to attend the Inaugural Ride opening of Diamond back. If you can’t make that day, all is not lost. You will receive free admission and be able to participate in the early opening ride time with season pass holders. And whether you make it to the park or not, you will receive a Diamondback Press Kit. But before we tell you how to win, here are a few "fine print" details...

The winner will be the person who comes the closest to guessing the exact number of track sections required for Diamondback. If two people are equidistant from the correct answer, the person who does not exceed the correct number will be declared the winner. If any further clarification is needed, please keep checking back here for any more details. Good luck to all who enter!"

I don't know what to guess.. I'm thinking somewhere around 385-395 track sections.. I'm probably way off though

I'm to lazy to figure it out myself, but I can clue everyone in.

A semi truck is 53 feet long. Nothing may exceed that length without a permit and they dont want to get a permit for every piece of track. Also they arent going to short change themselves and make the pieces shorter than the trailers. I'd say divide the track length by 53 and subtract a few sections just to make sure you dont go over.
