Yeah... that's some scary stuff!

I'm playing with Doug Polen this weekend, so I totally get it.

He's coming to one of our trackdays this week, hopefully I can get a couple laps of his downtime if he has any pity for us instructors...

P much the only turns that are a little rough are 4 and 13 though, and 13 is the only 2nd gear turn on the whole track.

Went with a guy who instructs for fasttrax, marty something, i forget his last name.

13 wasn't too bad as long as you stayed very tight to the inside. Any little deviation from that and you might be screwed, from what I recall... again this was from like 5 years ago.

Marty Sires?

taking the inside on 13 you only have about 2 feet of smooth road to work with, you can actually go a bit faster if you head wide and take a late apex. but its still a fugged up corner.

yep thats the one. we rode back up today to watch the sprints and the start of the endurance, he's a great guy... he knows everybody and their brother.

Damn, should be a good time then. Better listen to that guy, you have an oppurtunity most people gotta pay a metric-fuck-ton of money for.
