Out of Turn #2 and into Turn #3, I'm in 4th and flat out with a little left-foot braking to set the car into Turn#4, and back down to 3rd. I keep the speed up so I don't have to do Turn#5 in 2nd, just keep it in 3rd and left-foot brake into Turn#6.

Out of Turn#7, flat out in 4th, a VERY slight left-foot brake in Turn#8 to get the chassis set-up for flat-out in 4th for Turn #9 and upto 140 MPH just before the Start-Finish just like you.

This is on R-compound Kumho 710's 265/45R16 with 600lb/400lb springs and Advance Design coilovers.

I've attached a PDF of Roebling Road with the turns numbered.

BTW: I have taken 4,5,6,7,8,9 in 4th but it is scary fast for me. I like having the torque in 3rd just in case . . .
Cool, so I wasn't that far off for never seeing the track before. We had to run One Lap on street tires, so that hurt as well. I think the car was/is making about 300-320ish rwhp.

Yep, I'm holding an open can of beer in my left hand. . .

Seriously though, 10 & 2 for the straights, but shuffle steer everywhere else.
