That photo was taken at the bottom of turn 12 @ Road Atlanta at aprox !00 mph it's one of the biggest gut check turns in road racing.

I will make up there one day I hope . my funds aren't to where I can make plans anytime soon. I can barely afford to race local. Road racing is a rich mans sport and Im just a county employee .

If you think you can do it let me know. I'm there for all the NASA events and will try to hook you up with a place to stay (we camp in car trailers.....but they have heat A/C!!) I too struggle with costs and with 3 kids at home getting away is tough too. We camp (no hotels), bring grills/coolers and in 8 weekends I have not bought food there once.

Nice experience, I guess you enjoy it a lot.
