What you are going to hate is that long front straight, it will let all the slow people you had to fight to pass right back by you because they can gun it on a straight, but can't make a turn.

That's what I loved about BIR... mile long front straight where I could pass those that I didn't have the balls to pass during the turns.

How long is the straight at Nashville?

Don't know, its the nascar front stretch. It's a little better than a regular track because it's banked and has transitions, so the douchebags that can't take a turn but can gun aren't as much of a factor plus there is a high speed sweeper into a switchback at the end of the straight where you can pass the shit out of them if they are able to gun it on their liter bike.

Passing people in a straight where they are clearly faster than you in the corners and then holding them up is not cool. Let them go because they will leave you once they get in the tight sections and then you both can enjoy the ride instead of being a douche.

I only ones i passed on the straights were the ones that I was as fast as, or faster through the turns too. being my first track day, i just wasn't comfortable passing through the corners yet. not a necessary risk, as it was usually only a couple corners before a straight so I could get around.
