Track Night in America - SCCA

Had some fun today at Atlanta Motorsports Park. Its relatively tight and somewhat small but still loads of fun..
First time with the beast on the track.. It's amazing to say the least..

Do you take turn 16 flat-out? I would see the revs rise slightly as the inside rear tire got light coming through there onto the front straight.

I also had a car spin in front of me on that same front straight and come across and hard into my passenger's side door right at track out. That was ugly.

That track is too tight for my tastes. I've only done endurance racing there, so 2 hours stints, but there's no time to relax and catch your breath.

Mike, no! Not even close! I leveled off the throttle to maintain @85mph..By looking at my videos, it seemed that @ 85mph seemed like a comfortable speed. It is indeed a tight track but super fun in this car because the acceleration rush is awesome and thats where I caught up to most people!
