I love [B]Sears Point[/B].

The high risk of damage on runoff just means you gotta drive with more margin of safety, or be even more ready to lose the car in a crash.

And while the esses may be described as "deceptive", this is part of the challenge. As skill that many people don't seem to put as a high priority for learning is reading the road (undulations as well as conditions), and being sensitive to the cars weight transfers. The fact that 8/9/10 are all linked really catches people out... but controlling a swinging weight is still a part of driving skill. The problem is weight transfers are never taught to people besides "straight brake, turn in, hit the apex, unwind".

If the conditions are risky, go slower.

I understand that for some people that level of self discipline is hard, so it would be better just to avoid [B]Sears Point[/B] all together. To each his/her own.

But really, the rhythm of [B]Sears Point[/B] is just amazing. When you're in the groove, the car just dances.[/QUOTE]

For some reason I feel more comfortable driving near walls than dirt, so I had a blast at infineon even when it was pouring rain. I didn't even notice any of the walls until turn 10. It required alot more finesse to combo together the turns, compared to T.hill where it's more 1 turn at a time and you could potentially dive bomb every apex.

I could see it being stressful if you're surrounded by sucky drivers, maybe that's why the cheap Track Groups don't go there as much. I don't think I would want to go there for a $125 NCRC day, tho at that price it would be hard to pass up.

I've found sears pnt and thunderhill to be more fun than laguna. Laguna just has the corkscrew.

I love sparking the apex in turn 6 at Laguna.

Ok yeah that's a great turn, but also scary cuz if you eff that up you're going off for sure.

I've been on that track many a time, in many different cars, it's just an amazing track IMHO :-)

[QUOTE=Irish_car_B0mb;2823510]Who is going to thunderhill in april?

I will be up there and if the wife doesn't go I 'd be willing to share a room with someone to split cost.

I'm going up both days so let me know.[/QUOTE]

You want some guy on here to be your wife for the weeknd? What?


I'm a little afraid at Infineon, I love Thunderhill, my 2 cents.

STiForFun 03-04-2010 09:05 PM

I'll not be afraid @ Infineon when I'm tossing the R8 around there.
