Road America is awesome, definitely a very daunting track, pics/vids don't do it justice. Damn you must be amazing! That was stock too? Damn....

I live 8 minutes from the track, most times I drive up there, slicked up and all, but I think I'll take my trailor because it will be extra packed and I need somwhere to park from day to day.

Watch lots of video and if you need any track notes, let me know, I'll be running TTU and needless to say Road Atlanta is my favorite and most well versed track.

I think the TTA record could dip into the high 1:30's this year at RA, which it really should be, and judging by your time at Road America, you could have you two lap records in a short period of time.

Awesome, I'd love some tips on the track, anything would be helpful. I'm gonna head out to the Test n Tune on Friday to get some extra time in.

I don't know about the record, I'll be running Neova's most of the weekend because I am there to qualify for the Super Lap Battle, in Street class. If I secure a spot, I'll throw the other wheels/tires on to see what happens See ya there!

If only virtual racing with all the realism settings ON = real life. No way I could do that in real life as there is no reset button and the danger is real.

It was good to see your video and be able to recognize all the corners, straights and landmarks. Is it possible to take the high speed corner after the big sweeper flat out? Even in the game that corner is scary ...

I cant take the Kink flat out, maybe with some aero it'd be doable. I hit it at 115 tho, which is pretty fast for NT-01's and no aero. The Kink is THE most dangerous corner in the country, if you F up, you're done.
