Absolutely I did that last time and no probs. Im not saying leave a Bunch of cash or something expensive laying around when youve gone to the hotel but we left our bikes outside at night (under the canopy) and everything was fine....

I'll be down there all 3 days with at least 3 others look for a black and red Maxima Oils pop-up tent

Sounds like a pretty good crowd for Easter weekend.

Those videos were I group and way slow. There was a full group that day and I would put that at 50+ people but RA is a big place and if you are in a lot of traffic it is because you want to be.

Lap times I would have to look I have no idea what I ran, but a general rule unless anyone has better data
B group high 1:40s to 2+ min I group 1:40s - 1:50s A group low 1:40s on down.

Weather first off Steph do you own anything other than winter clothes, Asking a Canadian if he has winter clothes if like asking where to get Chinese food in China.
Weather can still be chilly at night and AM but expect 60-70s F during the day.

Hello and thanks for all the info guys, I also played hockey Jr A in my younger days and spent many a drunk night in bellville. I also lived there in the summer because its 10minutes away from shannonville motorsport park were i spent 8years racing with RACE. Ever go to Little Texas Poper? i have many many fond memories. However i have afew more questions, were does everyone stay which hotel in Braselton it would be great to hang out with afew of you guys. Also what gearing is good at road atlanta for a 1000 gsxr 06, also how hard is the track on tires? and Steph laptimes are everything if it isn't fast I'm not playing.

During my Jr. days, and not into bikes yet, I had no clue there was a track that close!

Little Texas, what a gong show! If it wasn't that place, it was Matt & Joe's for whiskey sours! Good times...

Hey Lars...I guess I'll be bringing both bikes in the enclosed 5X8 I just picked up last evening for a steal. Give me a call today when you get a chance and I'll fill you in on the details...

Of course that is if the wall which is only a couple of yards off of the track didn't put the fear of God in you. You blow turn 12, it is not going to end well. Miguel Duhamel smacked the wall at turn 12 during practice a year or two ago and ended up missing the rest of the AMA season due to his injuries. Turn 12 was moved over and turned into a much slower 90 degree turn that avoids the wall all together. It is safer, but doesn't have the same fun factor as the old turn.
I like the new turn 12. After all, it's just one turn of one of the most awesome tracks in the country. It's great to come up the hill after 12B, accelerate down the hill and while you're still going down hill, slam on brakes as hard as you can, turn right and give it all you've got accelerating into turn one. What's not to like?

well I'm not booking at the Cyclerant Hotel unless it has high speed and a big screen lcd with porn, and i don't care how much you beg. by the way I also have 2 friends that want in to. I also think cyclerant makes way to much money for his own good, hope you can ride as good as that set up looks...lol
