Bman, it's be fun, plenty of guys that will tow you around for the first few sessions.

I can't wait to see that camouflage TT hit 180 before going into T17....
I'll be having my finger out the window for all you TT boys:-)

I've never seen anything that looks like the entry to T17. It's so wide and lacks visual clues, at least on video. And it seems to go on forever. I've got to figure out how to trail brake at 180MPH

Should be fun for sure! I've still got some learning to do in the car, but with Jon Miller coaching shouldn't take long to get up to speed.

Ideally for 17, first turn, and then brake. But at 180... it might be difficult

T17 really isn't as wide as you think because of all the bumps there are only a few ways to get through it..driving line.....some people brake turn into the left wall (flag station) then lightly drag the brakes in a straight line and lightly turn in again go under the bridge full throttle and bounce there way to track out.....others turn into the left wall (flag station) then brake hard then turn in and go under the bridge.

Hi Mike,

I remember! Welcome to the 6-3 club! See you at the 48 hours. Are you going to be at Winterfest too?
