Lap of Road America
The video shows one lap of Road America. The first few seconds are pulling onto the track on the front straight and into turn one. Then, there is one complete lap, which took me about 5 minutes to get around the 4 mile course, which works out to an approximate 48 MPH average speed. I don't know the names of all the turns, but the never-ending right hand turn after the Speedville bridge is the aptly named Carousel. We were required to follow a Corvette pace car, but he was doing about 70 MPH, so that was fine for all except a couple of race prepared cars that stayed with him. We got 4-5 laps and everyone had a great time and only a few minor problems, and everyone was able to drive home!

How about a remake of the track video with the real music (From the vehicle!) playing
ReplyDeleteyou really need to turn your radio down.............would love to hear your upshifts and downshifts as you power your way around the track..................so cool!
ReplyDeleteThe boys were really rooting for you to pass a few more cars. The music worked like a sugar substance. They were jumping around asking me if you won.
