 Anyone have insite on what the track condition (or lack of) is??  I know WERA has been there and from what I remember and read that they haven't done a thing to improve since last year.  Oh this is gonna be fun. Positive thinking... :err:

Big dip in braking area at end of front straight, very bumpythrough turn 5 and sealer in first set of esses (9 and 10 I think) before back straight. Sealer seems to grip ok but throws me off anyway. Somebody told me they saw air under my rear tire exiting 5. Overall a couple bad spots but most of the track was great.

+1 I was expecting the track to be horrible and it wasnt that bad at all. Like mentioned above it is pretty bumpy through the lefty T5 and bumpy if you go to far inside the next right but otherwise the track seemed to be ok to me.

The answer to your question is NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE! So irregardless of whether or not you like or don`t like the track, if you were there last year it`s worse this year!!!

That is true and it needs to be repaved but it isnt as bad as say Gingerman

EM JAY

SOUTH IS TWO YEARS OLD!!!! and the bumps are sharp...the kind that tuck a front end at lean. Fast way around gingerman has you missing most bumps other than the dip in the last corner. Gingerman is at least ten years old!

Well I didnt think we were arguing how old the tracks were but the condition. Yes Autobahn South is gonna get worse and it does needs to be repaved but it wasnt nearly as bad as I thought it would be from what I have heard although T5 is really bad but the rest I can deal with.

Bingo...  ACC is from a quality perspective far below gingerman simply based on age. 

T5... Actually I think it was T6 where I bent my wheel under BRAKING while still upright...  Came around one lap, hit a bump that bottomed me out, so I went a little wider next lap and caught the peak of that sucker.. WHAM... I thought I busted the front wheel it was so vicious.  Nope, just bent it... ugh.

The track is no worst.. in my opinion...  then it was last year.
Although... if its to bumpy... you could adjust the hem on your skirt!  :ass:

I was out there Sunday on Enright's bike...
Nothing scary for me, on a borrowed bike

Paul,  Brake later... that bump goes away...

Ironic that a guy who puts pretty red stripes in his hair is talking skirts!
Dude, I saw you there on your borrowed bike and if you`d have picked up the speed a little the bump would have been more noticable!
