Planning to make the 13 hr drive from Knoxville later this month. Just had some general questions:
On HPTs trackmap, they had several different layouts. Which one will be ran? They all look like variations on the same track.
Can a 600 keep up with a 1k there? -1/+2 gearing for an 07 GSXR?
How bumpy is it?
Thx.

It's the Grand Prix layout.
HPT is kind of a mix of technical and HP - there's a pretty long straight, and short back straight - but the rest of the course is fairly flowing.
I've always run -1 +2 on my 600RR - seemed to work fine. The track isn't really bumpy - there's just some shitty patches near the apex on a few corners....
I need to start scouring YouTube.
Anyone know of some good track vid to check out?

Thanks. That's actually the article I was reading. All those different layouts at the bottom is actually what prompted the question. I noticed that the ASRA schedule seems to favor flowing, fast tracks over point-and-shoot tight places. Which is good for me because I suck at the high speed stuff.
I've ran 15/46 in the past with good luck on my 07 GSXR 600
