RA in the rain??

[Katie785]

How is it? I havent been down there for wet weather... anything I should know? Spots to watch out for? I think T12 in the braking zone going down hill in the rain might just freak me out.

Turn #7 is a little "extra"

If you can do Summit in the rain, RA is a cake walk.
I can't speak on T-12 in the wet. At least you only have 99lbs to stop. I'm thinking I may need a parachute.

is that summit in your avatar?

Good set of rains and you will be fine. T-7 is a bitch but other than that not to bad. I was playing around this spring in the rain and was turning 1:40's without much effort, wheelie-ing out of T-5 in the rain was COOL!!!!

WERA will not run the T12 configuration.... would they? WERA practice today?

 

[Drewbie]

What do you mean T12 configuration? New turn 12 is all they run.

 

[Matt H]

Not running Road Atlanta regularly, I won't say this with absolute certainty - but I believe WERA and NESBA use different esses - but the rest is run the same.

 

[Katie785]

yeah.. wera runs a chicane and NESBA does not... but that's turn like 2-3 that they change

WERA and NESBA run the same *and only* turn 12 config there is - the "new style" where you just come out of a wheelie and are instantly on the brakes hard for a sharp 90 degree turn

NO rain! w0o0ot!!
