Shoulder. I week of driving at Sebring doing only 30-40 minute stints and it took 4 weeks for it to work again properly. That tells me I still can't do an Enduro even if I wanted to.
Good for the SPB field, bad for me.
If you spin on the fourth lap of an enduro, and your car fails to refire, it really shortens your race. That is the strategy I employed at Sebring.
I guess I don't see it this way. The corners are not butt clenching enough and the track has no flow to it. The elevation change feels artificial when you drive it. I quite like inconsistent track surface as it adds a layer of complexity and 'character' to a track so the surface doesn't interest me. The low speed complex's are odd and not really 'technically challenging' and upset's the flow of the track overall. I prefer tracks with scary aspects to them (the esses at RA, the uphill at LRP, turn 1 at Mosport for example) that require more than a good line and car control. These tracks require you to push yourself to accept that unless you scare yourself there, your not going fast enough. I have driven MMC on 2 separate occasions so know what I would be getting into there.
If it was cheaper because I am not paying for food I don't want to eat, I would make the effort to be there, which also means me missing the opportunity to do the Test and Tune. Not my ideal scenario, but I would do it if it wasn't structured the way it is. I am not hating on it, and hope everybody has a great time, it's just not for me.
Sign up for RA and come play with Yonker and me..........

I have my favorite tracks for sure but have never been on a track I have disliked. Racing is racing and the competition is what makes it great not the track. The track is always an equal playing field.

This.
Thompson, which opened last year in CT, is never going to be my favorite track. But I still have a fun time going to it.
Monticello has some really cool features to it. A bunch of years ago there was a little more than a rumor that it was being considered as an F1 venue. Obviously they would have had to have made some changes but I think that fact speaks for itself.

Totally agree. It's why I chose to buy a SPB and not a cup car. I just love the idea of level, tight racing where driver makes all the difference. This one just doesn't work me. I hope it's a blast for all that go.
