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.

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?stow;37770 wrote: Turn 12 was one of the best turns on any of the SE tracks. The problem is that it left no room for error. Turn 12 could be taken at almost full throttle in fourth gear. 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.
