Nice vids. This track looks like it makes you work for it mid-corner.

Not at all. We had some stuff posted on here somewhere. I would have pressured you to go but you said you were taking a time out from DE's.

It's turning into mine as well.

It's a great track. Nice flow and very technical and great car equalizer.
Not very long, not very exiting elevation but great fun track. Ive only been there 3 times I think, I really should go more often!

This one is on top of my list after 48 hours, then Homestead, then maybe PBIR...

I've got a lot of learning to do with the GT3, know the track, now need to learn the new car and get a bunch more seat time.

Fun weekend, lots of good beer and food, learned World of Beer now has a spot in downtown as well.
Yeah, I got a little wild when I saw the predictive with a 117. I should have kept my cool and got a solid 118 out of it.

Fast, but not fast enough for the Platinum DE Cup

Roebling Road DE Cup Classes

Platinum DE Cup: 1:16.999 or faster
Gold DE Cup: 1:17.000 - 1:18.999
Cup of Coffee: 1:19.000 - 1:20.999
Moving Chicane Cup: 1:21.000 or slower

Do you have videos of the Toyobaru Drifter car running 1:19? We should come up with a Toyobaru DE Cup series with a spec package: safety items (seats, cage, harnesses, battery kill switch, fire suppression), sport muffler, springs, front sway bar, front brakes cooling, spec brake pads, spec wheels, spec 225R15 Toyo RR tires, no more changes allowed. We can pack 4 wheel inside the car, arrive and drive, no trailer, no tow truck.
119's for me. Guess I'll have to take the coffee cup.... I would have to string together the perfect lap to hit 118's and not put 4 off

Tried to figure out track alone first couple of sessions. HUGE mistake. Hate to give him any credit, but Deputy proved to be an excellent instructor once again.

I did nothing of the sort with my toothbrush. I almost just threw up....
That was fun. I enjoy watching people punish their PSM.

Broke in my new ATC enclosed trailer. Once you go enclosed you wont go back. Lollipop even made us lattes every morning

Of the group I was the only one who didnt mow the lawn.....i have many times

Found out Deputy Dog has a obsession with jellyfish......and El Matador put one on his toothbrush

Back to topic....best session of the weeknd

Went out for some filming of the Greek and DDog

Rad what is are the DE Cup times at Roebling?
You have it backwards. I jelly fished his toothbrush. As long as I'm coming clean, I jelly fished your latte as well. Probably why you were commenting on how good that particular cup tasted.

Fun weekend. The DE Cup junior varsity team had an excellent showing as well spanking most of the locals just by getting the coffee cup. Randy dominated as track bully. Locals probably hate us now.

I'm ready to go back again. Wish we could tie RA in with Roebling this November as one trip.

Next time Seat Time runs there I will let you know. 7 20 min or so sessions each day with passing anywhere with point bye and very low car count.

How can you not like it Jenk? You're pretty fast and it's definitely a driver's track. Can't ham foot your away around RR.

I have no idea wy no one liks Roebling

The infield is nice to hang out

The track is one giant skid pad

When you are fast it is real fun.......a lot of skils that are dangerous to work on at other tracks can be honed at Roebling

Straight, sweeper, sweeper, sweeper, no elevation, back to straight. I was by myself the two times I went, I'm sure it's a lot more fun with the DE Cup crew

There's 2 downhills and one uphill. Not giant changes per se but it's not flat like Sebring.

And yes, it's way more fun with a group of friends.

Ballsy turn 1, turn 3, and turn 8 + it ain't as safe as you think. Where Dawg got off exiting turn 7 I have seen a lot of cars in the tires including rollovers and upside down.

I've always enjoyed this track and continue to. It's a great learning track and has plenty of fun places to try new lines and see what works.

We typically havea great crew to hang out with on the infield, although I think I prefer Crown regions event simply because they provide beer and BBQ for the after Saturday dinner vs. having to head to a place down the street.

New WOB is an additional plus and downtown Savannah to keep the ladies in the group happy.
