Usually there is a average speed, this is how I judge how quick a circuit is

Re: (MSchu)

well that's the speed I'm expecting to average. the record on a gsxr1000 was an average of 97 mph so I figure I'll be a lot slower.

Why not do VIR south with TPM that weekend instead of summit on a monday?

VIR > Summit

Really fast pace is 1:16-1:18 93 mph

Average is around 1:25-1:30 80-85 mph

these are on 600's

Also be care at summit and really take your time, its not a forgiving track.
