    Yes my friend, you are correct. I have crashed at Road Atlanta once in the past in turn "5" (Last Year with STT) and this year I had a little run off in turn "7" down shifting and neutral. LOL I was able to make it back on track and 'catch' the same group I was riding with. LOL
    I just made the turn a little wider. Hahahah I was in the grass about 12 or 13 times learning to straighten out turn 2,3,4. I found that you can just clip the first rumble strip on the right run it straight through the grass and then dip back on the track for the last right/left. Fast line, but probably frowned upon???

    Yup. That was crazy because I have my XT Zed GPS lap timer which shows top speed and I was reaching 150 - 154mph on the back straight all weekend on the Honda CBR1000RR 6th gear at 10,000RPMs...
    Must have been a ZX-10 or a S1000RR.... My bike has 164 HP and they have about 184 hp. Big Balls and a fast bike???? = Black Blur!

    awesome lady, she had done all my repairs and has done great work. normally she is backed up a couple weeks, but if you tell her you have a track day, and show her the paid receipt, I think she bumps you up.
