It's time to learn Road America. I've never raced there, only visited as a spectator. I found this YouTube of Bruno Junqueira in an Indy car. He's going to be a lot faster then me, but it gives me an idea what I'm going to see around the next corner.
The YouTube lap is about 1:47. I anticipate my lap to be around 2:20. The track is 4 miles long. The average speed is just a little faster than Watkins Glen.
At both Road Atlanta and Watkins Glen I was using a 28-28 gear as my 5th gear. This was giving me 6500 rpm at the end of the straights. But at 6500 rpm the engine is only producing 420 HP. I need to get the rpm's up to 7200-7500, that's were my max 450hp range is(dyno). So I'm going to try one of my used gears, a 27-29. If it doesn't work, I'll change back to a 28-28.
