Good track / Bad track?! Ugh!

So here's my question... I'm located near mid-Ohio, bluegrass, beaverun, VIR, and summit point, but I'm willing to travel south in the near future to try and ride. I keep reading everything bad about all the tracks, like ate 10 bike in turn one, if there's moisture in the air you're going down, eats tires like crazy, and so on. I've only ridden Mid-Ohio and VIR, and it's been awhile since M-O.
So where to go? Anything good to say about anywhere? I'd like to hear the positives for a change, before I decide not to ride again.:up:
Thanks, maybe.

 

BeaveRun is a good track nothing scary there, Ive heard it is pretty nice in the rain. I rode there with a very slight wet surfave and almost highsided but that was my own fault.
Summit is another good track but the surface is rough in a couple turns, nothing to worry about there are good lines.

 

Most tracks have good traction when wet (not as good as dry of course).

BeaveRun, Nelsons, Nashville, Talladega, Barber, Grattan, GingerMan, Putnam all seem to be "ok" when wet.

 

May be further south than you wanna go, but JenningsGP is a very fun, but technical track! They hold their own open trackdays, so pretty easy to fit your schedule as needed.

Good grip all around, even in the wet. Plenty of run off room. Concrete pit pads, Restrooms w/Showers, etc.

Only negative is that is does wear tires quickly, and a large percentage of that is due to 75-80% is left turns.

 

I'm in the same boat. I'm looking at Barber vs Road Atlanta vs VIR vs Summit. I've never been to either of these tracks but will only be able to attend 1 I thought I narrowed it down to Barber or RA but VIR looks like a fun one.

 

Road atlanta is GREAT! Never been to VIR,but have heard nothing but great things. If u have not been to jennings thats a must too.

 

Asphalt + turns = fun. That's all you need to know.

 

BeaveRun is one of my favorites!

 

Yeah, I really enjoyed VIR (full course) and will go back when I can! The track I'm probably most wondering about right now is CMP. I'm thinking about trying to get there for Nov. dates, weather should still be real good then.....Right?

 

Everyone needs to ride Barber at least once a year.

 

+1....the whole facility is world class.

 

beaver is good, little bumpy coming down the hill after the left.

I hate summit

 

so many tracks...so little time

 

And completely shagged surface. This place was overdue for a repave couple years ago, I can only imagine what the place is like now.

The best racetrack in the south east is Road Atlanta. Barber is great and technical but it's a designer track. Also the place is pretty slow and tight, IMHO. Not bad, but Road Atlanta gives me a bigger buzz. :up:

 

Some like Ginger..... others Marianne.

 

Some like them both in a three way with whip cream and a stun gun. Yet I digress....

 

Ditto to that.....

 

Grip? At Jennings? As long as you have extra hard compounds maybe.

And I'm sorry I don't like Barber. That is one dangerous strip of asphalt. Armco, blind entries, exits, and hills. Guess I'm the minority here. But the grass is nice.:up:

 

You think the professor was tapping both of them Dutch?

 

Except for the grass part, sounds like a day at the salt flats might be your cup of tea. Tons of run off... you can see for miles in every diretion, not a wall or pc of armco in sight.. sounds exciting! Maybe we can paint some salt green like grass.
