Track video at Roebling Road in GA
I spent the weekend of Nov. 12 at Roebling Road Raceway near Savannah, Geogia, with the Coastal Empire chapter of the Porsche Club of America (PCA).
First off, these guys run a great DE, and everyone was very nice, even with letting my RX7 pass them down the straight.
I had a great instructor who had a NADY helmet system, so I could intimately hear his comments.
I was signed-off for SOLO driving after my first run (four runs per day @ 15-minutes), and periodically asked him to sit with me, just so I don't pick up any bad habits.
The RX7 is a great momentum car, and can really keep with all of them in twisties. I did have intermittant secondary boost problems during the last two sessions of the last day (Sunday), which limited my passing ability IF they kept on the accelerator.
Here's a short video in QuickTime format.
BTW: I run in the "blue" intermediate solo group in a stock motor w/Koni shocks, and Tripoint swaybar.

I've always liked the track, used to be one the Skip Barber school ran at in the winter series, I like that it has a slight elevation change on the backside of the track. I can't imagine my car being any less fun than it was in the formula fords. Glad you had fun Neil.

Hey guys I just posted a video on the 3rd gen forum of a test and tune day I ran at in Denver, CO. earlier this month. The track was Second creek raceway about 1.7 miles. One of the videos is split screen against a 01' Ford SVT Cobra and I ran over a second faster and he ahs much more done to his car than I have done to mine. Hopefully the video streams well it was alittle slow on my computer but my computer sucks!!
