Exactly--that's if you don't slide off into the rough coming out of turn 14
onto the straight. Even the short hill after turn 5 is a challenge--after
the tour on Sunday, they had the Can Am event. We were watching from the
Merrill Lynch tent at the bottom of 5. The acceleration up the hill was
mind-boggling--with a wild cacophany of intoxicating V-8 rumbling turning
into screaming--once on the throttle they were up the hill in the blink of
an eye. While I'm sure it would be heart-attack inducing, I would gladly
give a valuable body part in exchange for a 5 minute ride in one of those
beasts <g>.
In September though, I am resolved to take my Spit out on the track at the
Fall Vintage Festival at RA.
