Evan Wrote:^ thats a good map. much better than the other ones Ive seen floating around.That is a good map and evan is correct about the cut thru being the way we will run it. Get there early enough to walk it Sat morning or even friday night. Last year when I drove it...I didn't feel too lost but I can see how people feel that way.
My videos are of the "race" configuration, and the same configuration that you will be running this weekend. As Chad mentioned this eliminates the pit straight, by taking the right hander that is right above the "3" on that map.
The pit straight is used as the hot pits and pit-in.
The chicane is not used
To help you synch up with the map, this video starts just after exiting turn 13 "Big Bend" on the map

also, Nasa runs different turn numbers, I think the Loop is called turn 1 with nasa.
Personally I just call the corners by their names instead of numbers, since every group uses different numbering
