Title: Roebling Vids/Info?¿
Post by: speedster_1 on January 07, 2004, 07:03:26 AM
Anybody got any vids of Roebling or any information on the track? (track surface/grip (tirewear), bumpy or smooth?  Never been and will be racing there later this season. General gearing is another thing I'm looking for...I know it's different for each rider & bike but how does it compare to other tracks in the SE, etc. I want to be as prepped as possible before getting on the track.

Thanks for anything you guys can tell me!

A little ole 954.  Patchy and bumpy...I assume they race cars on it?  Is it's surface worse than CMP?  I have only been on CMP, BMP, Jennings, NSS & Talla.  CMP & Talls seem to have been the bumpiest tracks I've been.  Roebling worse/better...just worried I'm be spending all my practice time tuning suspension.  Currently it's dialed in pretty good for talla.

Thanks again.

I hate to plug it, but I've got on-board video laps of all the SE tracks, including at least 2 laps of Roebling, complete with turn numbers in the top right hand corner.  Check it out, it might be helpful to you:

Oh, and $5 goes to the airfence fund of course...

I have seen the plug before.....too bad you don't offer another format for your preview...I can't view mov files at work.  I will check it out later and probably order your dvd.

Still any other Roebling vids out there are welcome!
