HiSide is on a distinguished road
Its 33 degrees and hard to stand on. Ive raced motorcycles there a couple of times. The speed is intense on the banking on a bike.

alot of fun, was approaching 190 then punked out in the front of the trioval. if I kept my foot in it past the start finish would be near 200mph

I pretty much use the entire front straight to slow down not to overshoot turn one.

this is A MUST for you guys with these cars!!

and remember mine is RWD no traction control so AWD may be safer

thanks for the comments

it can feel like you're going to tip over to the inside on a slow pace lap
