sounds good, but I may want to venture out to a track I haven't been to yet.

Summit point or Road Atlanta sound good. Maybe I will try out the new pavement at RR.

The feedback I have gotten so far from my fellow 'plastic car' drivers. They did a really good job repaving. Track is smooth as silk. The HPDE/TT guys are saying you should drop about 1.5sec / lap. They are not noticing the heavy front left tire wear that Roebling has been known for.

One of the T1 racers who was down there for a SE Div race. He said that some guys were blistering the left front tire. They are having to readjust the tire pressures from what they are used to setting them at before the repaving.

So watch your front left tire pressure as it may not be what you expect it to be hot when you come off track.

They also painted the place up and opened up the new bathrooms. Something a lot of people appreciated since the old ones were nasty...

I'll be down there with PCA-Ce in early Nov.

Graham
