Jason,

I really dont think you have anything to be worried about on the Big Track. Just take it easy the first few laps, building up your speed each time around. I would say the only corner you need to really worry about is the last one, Turn 9. It is a decreasing radius turn and sneaks up on you, and will even get the best of them!!!

Here is the website that has info on the event:

Pass it around.....

Nikolas

any guesses as to how fast you think we can hit on the straight?

i read you come out of turn 9 pretty hot, and the straight following it is a 1/2 mile long, so near 120???

that'd be neat to brag about

I think 120 will be easy to hit....if not 130.... Unless I get my speed limiter removed, I will be stuck at 115 down the front straight.. then it is hard on the brakes so you can do about 60 or so through turn one......

Nikolas

that straight much be huge if you could hit 120. It takes awhile to get there.

The last turn coming onto the straight is a fast one, I would guess you will be able to maintain about 80mph around it or so, if not faster....then the straight is 1/2 mile long.. 120 is not out of the question....

i read on one of the so cal boards a guy in an svt went into the dirt on turn 9 at 95. didn't sound like he was goin too fast.
if you can come outta there around 90 i think 120 sounds fair.

one way to find out

That must be one BIG A$$ turn coming in to the straight!
