Re: Who's racing at NOLA?

Great question and I think it is a great track to learn.

Here is why I think that is true. First, it is a medium length track which means that you get more lapping repetitions which is perfect for taking "small bites at the apple" as you work on pushing your skills. Second, they track is incredibly safe ( there just is not much to hit) which makes it, in my opinion, a great place to develop driving the high speed turns with a slip angle. Learning to do this on a more constricting track can be a little more difficult. Third, there are great places to learn and practice trail brake rotation because there are several 2nd and 3rd gear turns with extra asphalt.

Combine this with a beautiful facility and it makes a great package.

If you choose to go, let me know how you make out. Bill

Ps. There are some good you tube videos out on the net if you query skip barber NOLA
