Congratulations Randy, that's really moving! You've now beaten my best lap at Roebling by a full second. I'll have more to work on next time I go down there.
Also, I agree with those who say this track is technical and challenging. Don't be lulled into thinking otherwise. Once you get to to a certain low lap time, it is more difficult to shave off extra time as opposed to a VIR. IMHO.

I've been going here for a long time and have yet to get bored, it's only 9 turns, but after 7-8 visits I've yet to master it, such a great educational track. If you can get fast here, translating it to other tracks won't be too hard.

It's no Road ATL but still worth a couple of visits a year, something I can't say about Homestead and PBIR. I have been to Roebling twice (6 hour drive) with RS and not at all to PBIR (45mins) and Homestead (2 hours)..

I loved Roebling !!!. Throttle steering like the old Moroso. May be boring on video, but you are 4 wheel drifting in almost all turns. Want to go back too. Randy is getting too close to my times that I did over there. We can't have that. But first Homestead (talk about boring track) in June

My national franchise meeting happens to be in Savannah the same weekend... So naturally I'm going to write the whole thing off and send my wife to sit in on the meetings

Killer weekend for sure!!! Can't wait for August, may have to bring some Hoosiers with me just in case I'm happy with my 1:22 this weekend, I could use some extra HP in the straights to drop it a bit lower but on the infield my little M is taking me for a wild ride.

Ok ok ok...I gotta go try Robeling.
Did PBIR once...not interested anymore. I have not done Homestead yet but plan on it.
I've done Daytona and Barber and I know Sebring like I know myself. Barber is my favorite!

Fresh tires (fronts had 12 days so 50 or so heat cycles)
And a clean lap
1:20.9, had passenger and had to pass a car in 7
I promise anyone who goes there for the first time let us know when......I will love you fiving Wes a point by in his M-coupe.....he is fast in it

Exactly.....the track is not about horsepower
If you look at the data Wes and I are close in the corners and I get my time back on the straight
I will try to post a video later of my past session (with no data )
I was following my friend Greg in a 996 class H race car. We were runnning 1:21's (he had my data in his car). I wouldcatch him in 1 and he woudl lose me through every corner
hNext time I do roebling I may bring Hoosiers....just to make sure I get a better time than Erik
