Will it be on the full course?

 

[Asteezy88]

Dang that's awesome you got it with such low miles, where's you find this beauty? And if you don't mind sharing how much you got it for?

 

[jrotax101]

Will it be on the full course?

Yes sir. I am torn between how much I love VIR and whether I actually like it more than Road Atlanta...
