Roebling in August? Shouldn't be too hot or humid at that time of year in savannah.

Agree with Randy, though - fun and technical track.

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.

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.

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.

Nice job Randy! RRR is like PBIR and homestead for me. It's cool to do but I rather go to other tracks that are just as far away

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

I'm looking forward to it. For like $300 for whole weekend, you can't go wrong.

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

So in the M, you're only off 1 second from Randy in the GT3RS?

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!

Erik I am real close......I plan to go back in the fall

Fresh tires (fronts had 12 days so 50 or so heat cycles)

And a clean lap

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

Sounds like a plan! It's a long way away, but, there's usually a PCA event there in late February. Should be fun after Winterfest...
