We will be using the North paddock and pit road. The track is really fast when the weather is cool. So the extra grip will help you shorten the learning curve. Look me up, I'll be glad to give you some pointers. I usually park up by the false grid on the left.

I don't know if they are having a test day or not, but if so you should take advantage of it. We were there this year and it took me all weekend to get enough speed to keep me from getting run over. I've never been to a track where I could actually lower my lap times by thirteen seconds. We used that spiral part of the course. It is alot of fun with all of those blind corners and elevation changes. If your not smiling inside the car when you get to the top of the esses you should check your pulse.

Yeah we were planning on doing the test day on friday, we seem to do well after testing on friday at a new track(new hampshire and the glen). Ive been watching quite a bit of video and I think I have a pretty good idea of the layout. Any chance you guys are going to make it down for that race?
-Mark
We're done for the year, sad to say. It's time for me to take care of some neglected responsibilities. I'm not twenty years old, in case you did'nt notice. I wish I could do them all. Good luck Mark.Originally posted by Racerboy03@Oct 13 2005, 04:26 PM
