Road America Lapping

After almost 7 long months, I'll be back in the formula car for day 1 of lapping at Road America on 10/1! I've always wanted to drive this course and I'm beyond excited. I'm still saving for my first race but I'm happy for this seat time. Anyone else going to be there? Counting the days!

Mikey

I'll be there Michael. One of the great road courses. Will look forward to meeting you there. :-)

Re: Road America Lapping

Michael,

Enjoy Road America! As Pat said, it's one of the greats.

Here's a lap around the track with Bruno Junquiera in the Elan built Panoz DP-01 Cosworth Champ Car. The lines are pretty close to what you'll do in the Skip Barber car, although your speeds will be slighlty slower.

Re: Road America Lapping

Thanks for the video post Gerardo. The elevation changes really stand out in that video. I'm going to study some of the Skippy videos from YouTube to get an idea of gear selection. Hopefully I'll be somewhat prepared.

Re: Road America Lapping

Pat, I'm going up a day early and am wondering if there is a way I can get in a car with helmet and Hans on so I can adjust my Hans before the Lapping day. I know things are hectic the day of track activity. I have a Hans adjustable model and my last lapping day was my first time using it. It pushed my head forward at an uncomfortable angle and I felt that it was interfering with being able to keep my eyes up. It would be a sweet time-saver if I could stop by the garage the day before.
