And yes, Ross, I am still shaking my head at the many different types of surfaces you refer to as racetrack!!


Yeah, if isn't vertical I use it.

Congrats Michael on your first win - that is huge and especially at Road Atlanta.

Congrats Chris on the sweep. Looks like its all coming together.

And Michael you are correct - if it ISNT vertical, you can use it. But as someone who has tried to use most of the vertical surfaces at Road Atlanta over the years I can assure you that they BITE and bite hard. 

STAY OFF THE VERTICAL SURFACES!

I was on my best team behavior this weekend. I supplied the power train for many straights. My goal was to get some good track time and help with a good team finish.

I do like a good pass coming into turn one though. :)

Thanks Danny. The vertical surfaces had my full attention in the test and tune. It is a bit intimidating learning a track that basically has walls surrounding the entire perimeter. I have no doubt an impact will leave the driver and the car wishing they had not found the vertical improvements.

You did that well! I was just jealous of your T1 "brake hard, take the line, and throw the chute" pass. Gonna add that to my bag of tricks! Along with defending it a little better! ;)
