Popped my cherry at Road Atlanta
Popped my cherry at Road Atlanta
What a track; an incredible experience! The Elevation changes and blind turns are insane! loved every minute of it. Here is a link to my best lap of 1:37. Chin Motorsport put on an excellent event. Chris Harris was at the event and took me in a 996 cup car. He did 1:30 his first time ever on this track.
Wow, 162? Those cars have some serious giddy-up. Sorry I didn't get to meet you, there were so many GT3, GT3RS, GT2 RS's, Cups etc. I didn't know where to start. Were you with the other 3 RS's parked in the middle of the paddock?
1:37 is an excellent time at Road Atlanta for a first time. You picked it up really quickly. My student Nick also ran a 1:37 in his 10' GT3.
BTW, nice smooth driving line as well!!

Thank you for the kind words.
Heavychevy - thank you so much for all the traqmate data. It was so helpful to have a reference point for breaking an acceleration. I cannot thank you enough.
Aerodude - No the track is pretty even; not bumpy like seabring. But what it does have are banked and cambered corners which makes it wicked fast especially turn 6; you can carry a tone of speed. If you've never been it really is a must that you go. The elevation and blind corners are awesome!
997gt3A - I'm running Hossier's R6 - and they were incredible.
Its crazy but the entire second day I was doing lap times of 1:39-1:42. I then did a few laps with Chris Harris in a 996 Cup Car and watched his line. I then changed my line and braked a little later and was able to get consistent laps of 1:37 and 1:38.
Incredible all around time! Can't wait till next year. I'll at homestead Dec 17 with ERME.

Heavychevy - I was in the back by MTI racing (had all those screaming load vetts). Sorry we didn't hook up but it wont be my last time there thats forsure.
Great driving!
I think I saw your GT3, but whenever I wanted to link up, couldnt find you. (You being down by MTI explains it)
I was in the Black GT3, and my buddy deputydog95 in his yellow. Super fun track, and we had a blast.
HeavyChevy - Want to thank you again for all the help. Your a badass instructor. Hopefully I made you proud going off road the first session....
