I will for sure. i just happened upon your build thread this morning and your car looks mind-blowing! I need to see that thing in person! I am doing RA in Sept with Peachtree BMW CCA, but I will likely hit you up before that about AMP.

Unfortunately I've never driven a car there, just motorcycles with now defunct nesba and others. I feel that Thunderbolt is better than Lightning as it has more areas to pass, but I enjoyed both courses on smaller cc bikes.

I almost want to pick Sebring just so I can see you guys!! At this point though, I think it's fair to say WGI is the winner. |

Palmer Motorsports Park should be toward the top of your list, it's only been open for a few years so it isn't well know nation wide yet. I have driven evey track in the NE and it quickly became one of my favorites. Super technical and challenging.

Nice! My list keeps getting better and better, I can't believe there are so many tracks I have never even heard of. This one looks awesome too, thanks! I like technical and challenging, anything that makes me a better driver.

Have you decided when? I'll be there with friends June11/12 with Phoenix CMR. The Falls Motel is where a lot of us track rats stay when at WGI. Nothing fancy, but clean & close to the track. Ross Bentley's track walk vid for WGI is also very good.

So.. I’ll be at Barber in April, WGI in May, Road Atlanta in Sept, and VIR in Oct. I’m really happy with the way this turned out Thanks for the lodging suggestion, that’s one less thing I need to worry about now. And, Ross Bentley is incredible, I need to check that out! Much appreciated! |

Yeah, that s***’s intimidating no doubt, especially for someone who just got bumped up to intermediate run groups. It seems like there are all sorts of fears I have to overcome while enjoying this sport, walls in close proximity to the track are for sure one of them

Keep it up and sounds like you're doing it right by picking great tracks and doing your homework! (But yeah... the walls are real)

Lol, I specifically picked Roebling Road for my first track because of the lack of walls. I was pretty nervous about RA the first time I went, but funny enough, I settled into that track quickly and was super comfortable with it almost immediately. That was the first weekend I really started going fast (for me), and I dominated my run group along with 2 other guys. I was one happy girl I super appreciate the advice and encouragement! I love this forum! |

Mid-Ohio looks awesome!! It is definitely near the top of my list. My buddy from Columbus had mentioned us taking a trip up there sometime since it is his home track. Watching that video makes me want to go even more!! Dude, your car sounds amazing 🤤

I can't help myself at this point lol. I am hooked. One thing I really like about the track community - all you guys on these forums and everyone I meet in real life - is that everyone supports each other. I appreciate everything that everyone teaches me about their experiences, I listen to all of it and it encourages me. I want to one day work up to getting my racing license so I can become a club racer. And, watch me drool over some loud ass Porsches... jeez |

This is definitely in my plans. I was just talking to a friend of mine on the phone tonight who did a BMWCCA race school at Roebling Road a couple months ago. He loved it. I want to go!! Lol, patience... I know. Experience is good, I have a ways to go
