My first WERA race - Road Atlanta 6/29

Here's a write-up of a first-time racer's experience at Road Atlanta last weekend. WERA is filled with good peeps, and I appreciate everyone's advice in the paddock.

That was a great write up!

 

Did you get to run the new turn 12? How did you like it?

 

Turn 12

Yes, I ran the new Turn 12. I was going so slow that the bump did not make much of a difference, but you definitely notice it. The forks compress a good bit, as if they weren't compressed enough already from coming down the hill!

My more knowledgeable friends who were running Honda Hawks said they were taking the turn a little wider due to the bump.

I had never ridden at Road Atlanta, so I can't compare to the old layout.
