I don't know if we can use those two people for comparison, when one of them has not even yet run Road Atlanta
I am really looking forward to see how fast the Miatas will be next year, particularly Bob Stretch once he gets his figured out, and also Andy if he decides to run. As far as Greg's motor, that is that car's single biggest strength. It was fun watching Joe Moser's ITA incar video and see the dramatic contrast between the two very different, but equal cars. But I would disagree with Greg's lead on the straight as being too much for the rest of the track to equalize. In fact, based on just Joe's video of the first 10 mins of the race, it seemed like he had things under control every lap and was just waiting to make his move, probably in the last 10 mins of the race.
A thing about Road Atlanta, I honestly think it is a very difficult track to really get right. First, it is quite intimidating, which plays a big part in the learning curve. Second, although many can go around there plenty fast, it seems a lot fewer people can actually squeeze those last drops of speed out of that place. And being a difficult track, there are quite a few drops to be found.
Agreed Rick. You are really fast at the other place I've been on track with you - VIR. If you could somehow get that same speed out of Road Atlanta, you would be right there up front.
