Roebling Road is a great place to race! The front straight is long, turn
one carries a lot of speed. RR rewards smoothness and punishes over
aggression. Most of the corners apex later than you'd expect. The only
place to really hit anything is the last corner onto the front straight.
The turn is very fast to the right and you are in it for a long time. On
exit, IF you drop the outside wheels off the left, do NOT try to bring it
back on track - just let it roll out onto the vast expanse of grass on the
left. The retaining wall that separates the front straight from the pit
lane shows many scars ot those how elected not to heed this advice.
Roebling is very sandy. If you try to pull back up on course, the left
front will dig into the soft, sandy soil. The next thing you will see is
the pit wall. Otherwise, there is plenty of runoff room and not much hard
to hit (I don't count tire walls as hard).
Have a blast!
