Only problem is that you only get about 8 laps in. On an A pace. Maybe 6-7 in I and 5-6 in B. By the time you are getting in your grove, it's time to come off the track.

I think that'd be bad ass. Like Full... only better.

Still the same amount of time on the track though.

True, but that could be a challenge in its own way. Picking out reference points on a 14 turn track would surely seem easier after doing it on a 68 turn track.
I'd like to see NESBA run this, even if it's just once next year to see how everyone likes it. Seems better than never trying it.
If you've been to VIR on any config you have at least part of the grand figured out. They have the Grand east and the grand west depending on what connectors you want to run. If they would rent it you could forget it on a weekend and probably on a monday or friday, too. I would like to see nesba spend a week at VIR and run a different configuration each day, South, North, Full, Patriot, G-east an G-west...

Funny you should ask.
After the effort NESBA went to get me to sign up, the test bikes left for NJ on Sunday afternoon. Soooooo, the bikes were in NJ when my test ride at VIR North was supposed to happen. I double checked the email that was sent to me as confirmation of my test ride and it said Monday at VIR North, yet the truck and bikes were a few hundred miles away on Monday morning.
I did get to ride Troy's 750. I think I lapped about 1 or 2 seconds quicker on South with it then my bike. He wanted me to take the 1k out on North but I wasn't comfortable doing it since I couldn't pay for it if I wrecked it. Not that I would have gone at a breakneck pace, but someone else could hit me or some other odd thing could happen.
All in all I need a newer bike but I just can't bring myself to spend the money on it. Not yet at least. Maybe in a year or two.

Troy... your killing me. I can't do it right now I just can't spring the money. Like I said, maybe in a year or two I will but I just don't have the funds.
Besides, I think I want to go 600. I will get more satisfaction when I pass all you guys with 2/3's the displacement
