Ahhhhh yes, finally. Your car does NOT look happy at all with the racing surface. It's easy to see what you guys were talking about. Doesn't look bad at all though, lots of run-off, keeps you occupied without being too busy or turning for long periods of time (I.E. Roebling). Love the useful curbing!

I'm definitely interested in going down there at some point.

Good for developing skills.

Looks like a fun drive, thanks for posting the video. Was worth the wait.

That's aweful. I can tell from the videos I will like it better than Roebling. But I like pretty much anything better than Roebling, including Talladega GP. Roebling is sooooo awefully boring to me.

I liked Nola. I thought it was fun. It's not a track I'd like to go to once a month, but it was enjoyable. I think we are spoiled having Sebring in our backyard.

I think my favorite part of the weekend was the smack talk over dinner on Sat night about front tires. Poor Peter, he was sure it was those damn fronts

I managed a 1:21 on the mich super sports. Very impressive tires. I thought I would try and up my game on some 19 HC hoosiers. If they thought the grip was bad on RA1'S, my sessions on the hoosiers were like a skid pad session. Not fast as my lap times kept going lower and lower each lap, but good pitch and catch training.

All in all, well worth going. The wife and I stayed in the French quarter so unlike most tracks, there was actually something to do when you weren't on the track.
