Your next progression once you get bored with RRR would be CMP. Its a much MUCH faster track. There's one good elevation change that makes you really concentrate to get right. There's a high speed "kink" that will make you pucker if you hit it fast and correctly.......make you ******************** if you get it wrong! It's just a bit more technical and a great second track to hone skills on.
Road Atlanta, when done right is not for the timid, weak or slow. You better have skills or you will get run over if you've progressed to higher run groups (white and on). It's fast, super technical and requires every talent you have to go fast and have fun. Once you get to that level, VIR is a bigger version of RA and a lot of fun with a high HP car. Daytona is nothing special as far as a track goes, but the cool factor of being on DAYTONA is something not to be passed up.

GL, have fun and ALWAYS listen to what your instructor tells you, it could be me instructing you someday
There is another DE at Roebling the first weekend in April that I thought I was going to have to miss due to work, but that trip just got cancelled!

I am back in FL now but was in NC from 1996-2013. We went to Carolina Beach lots of times, since I got the FJ in 2011 we would always camp at Freeman Park at the north end of the island.

I probably won't make the CMP that is in March but I will shoot for one of the fall ones; will you be at any of them?

Thanks!

Steve
