Nope, you know we are close to FL, right? (the land of the flat...lol) No, no elevation changes to speak of but lots of fun. If you want elevation changes, gotta go to Road Atlanta....

Is that chicane used?

OC, you will have lots of fun at my favorite east coast track - Watkins Glen.

No, that's not a chicane. That's an old pic. It's the pull off to exit the track now. Don't let the pic fool you, roe long is a very technical track.

About 1/2 mile longer that LRP. It looks like a lot more run-off space, some nice left turns (only 1 left turn at LRP) and a long front straight...looks like a fun track.

That is why we need you to show us the ropes.

Still working a way to get there. May have to run my street tires and drop down to street spring rates but it is better than nothing.

I’ve got an extra set of 17” track tires. (tires, no rims)

Don’t ask me what brand because my mind is blank right now...
