Track is Road Atlanta - fastest track I race at. Both the H2 and H1 love it. This race was my third race of the day after 3 practice sessions in the morning on a hot, humid day. I was struggling to hit my marks and barely held on for the win. Also won the Formula 500 race earlier in the day. Finished second in 500GP on my new Bighorn road racer.

Long, hard day but a ton of fun. :mrgreen:

Very fast gentle, sweeping turns. Bring a big set if you want to do a fast lap at Road A.

To hit 10000rpm at the end of the back straight I gear the H1 at 15/41.

It was an inside joke, Jim. I've been taking my Yamaha DT100 to the 5/8 mile go-kart/Supermoto track at VIR recently.

I used to like the daylights out of going to Road Atlanta, especially pulling the front wheel up going down the hill from the overpass, to the front straight. Yvon, Nixon and Hurley used to go really well at that track. The video brought back very fond memories, thank you.
