Glad you stopped that video just short of me being over taken by those vets. That was my first day at a track, as if that was not to obvious from the poor lines. The track is a blast!! I highly recommend it, you cannot beat that price for a hour of intense white knuckle driving.

although it's a very good deal, that worries me a little, and that's why I have only gone to Gingerman and Autobahn - plenty of run off room (which I've used!) I hope your incident was an isolated one. Maybe I'll go one day anyway, but just take it down a notch.

i'd say it's wide enough to grip drive. You have to try it out. Every movie you watch does not do the track justice, you need to see the elevation changes for your self. The venue is great.
Drifting - super fun
Grip - Super fun as well

heres some clips of us last year.

Well considering that on the Dragon if you screw up you end up off the mountain, I think I'll be ok with this now... I'm ready for some more corners.

What a blast that was! Everything about the event was great: the track with its twisties and elevation changes, the small run-groups, the 4 15-minute sessions... It was totally worth the 4 hour/350 mile drive from Minneapolis! I highly encourage anyone in the tri-state area to attend the next one.
