Give John Ruther @ Northstar Motorsports www.northstarmotorsports.com
a call. He sells a video that was done of RA for the PCA Parade a couple of years ago. Nice video with instruction. Memorial Day PCA weekend is a excellent event!

Tip:
Corners 1 and 6 are not visible when you may have wanted to start braking.

The Andretti IMAX movie "Super Speedway" has a lot of footage of Road America (rumored to be Mario and Michael Andretti's favorite track)... not to mention mine!

Might be able to rent this one locally. Check around. I'm sure Netflix has it.

I have countless laps of RA from the perspective of a stock 944 158 hp car. Makes the Northstar video look like hyperspeed. Let me know if you need something slow enough to count every blade of grass :-)

This is from about a year ago.

Hope it helps:

Here's an easy to follow Road America guide:

(leave pits)
Turn right
Turn right again
Long drink of coffee
Big brake and turn left
turn left
turn right
big brake and turn left
looooooong turn right
Pucker and turn right
Resume breathing and adjust radio
hard, hard brake and turn right
a fun slight left
turn right
place cell phone call

repeat.

Yes, please - I hear Danny wants to follow in Ted Lazarides' footsteps & come to RA this year!
