Ferrari Mailing List: Re: [Bulk] Re: Austin track

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Yo Tom - in my minor minor racing experiences (karts and tight road courses 
in a Porsche) my recollection was long straights, a short straight, a medium 
straight hooked together with L or R hand entrance.  Mostly just a blur. 
RIR was very different but Laguna Seca was the series of straights with L or 
R entrance's blurs.
