Its a FUN track! I did it last year with the same group and it was a blast. Combination of RRR/RA and VIR all rolled into one. Big long fast straits, big turns.......very cool! What going on at RA? I hadn't been there in a few years, the last time I wadded up my race car

Hate to hi-jack my own thread, but did the "bump" at the bottom of the hill (T-12)disappear? God I hated that.

From http://www.americanlemans.com/News/Article.aspx?ID=2758

ROAD ATLANTA WORK: An extensive resurfacing project at Road Atlanta is well on its way, the focal point of a series of renovations and capital improvements to the famed Atlanta-area road course.

In addition to repaving the entire 2.54-mile, 12-turn circuit, crews also will move back the walls on both sides of the lower part of the Esses to provide competitors additional runoff room. It also will increase the sight lines for fans on "Spectator Hill" from turns 4 to 5.

All of the concrete patches have been removed. Filling the patches with asphalt will provide better adhesion completely around the track.

Previously, the back half of the main paddock and the front entrance parking lot were paved earlier this year. Originally built in 1970, Road Atlanta was last repaved in 1992. Since purchasing the world-renowned facility in 1996, Dr. Don Panoz has spent millions of dollars in capital improvements including the redesign of turn 10 and elimination of the Dip. More than 300,000 tons of rock and dirt were moved to create the new Main Paddock on the infield side of the track.
