I won't be there this year--can't afford to miss class since I'm going to WCX in Detroit the week after.
Thank you Vman!
Have an excellent week in Detroit!

I hadn't noted that the GGP first used the boot in 2022.
I'll be ready for various announced speeds.

What can you tell us about driving the boot?
Is that downhill steep, needing braking of some kind?
Followed by the hairpin at the bottom, and there's also a pretty steep climb back up. Executing all that safely while not wasting fuel... I'm sure it will be "interesting".
