Default Is Roebling any fun for a gt3?

i am a PCA Red run group DE driver with a 2010 GT3, track setup, Hoosiers, typically fastest GT3 wherever I run (and can hang with fastest gt3rs as well). I have run with PCA Potomac, RTR, and NJ regions at SP, VIR, WG, NJMP, MO. Looking to extend the 2011 DE season and wondering if Roebling is worth going to. I don't know anyone that has been there. It looks kinda small on google maps. Is this the wrong track for a fast gt3? Anyone been there?
Thanks

Short answer. Yes

Easy track to go slow, hard to go fast

Roebling is worth going.
Do it, really a fun track. Doesn't look it on paper but it is. You'll like it.
Laptime to shoot for 1:18
From the Roeblingroad.com website:

December 1
Practice for DE Event Weekend
Contact Bob Woodman

December 2-4
FL Crown PCA Race
December 5
Private Track Day

Roebling It's only 4 hours driving to Road Atlanta another must do track. I know there is a CHIN event at Road ATL in 2 weeks. laptime to shoot for 2:06

If you get that far you might as well go to Sebring Dec 9+10...

The RRR DE that is combined with the PCA Club Race can be either a 3 day or 2 day option and any combination (Fri/Sat/Sun, Fri/Sat, Sat/Sun).

I will not be able to finalize the schedule until PCA National finalizes the club race schedule, but historically we have 4 30-minute sessions each day and when possible add in additional sessions (last year we added in 2 extra 30-minute sessions).

We still have 8 openings, it is an advanced solo only event, one run group with full track passing (using point-bys).

As Randy noted, it is a hard track to drive fast and a lot of fun.
