It is really unfortunate that Jefferson is being so trashed by experienced drivers that a lot of lower run group drivers have decided it is beneath them. That is ridiculous! The track has its points of interest and bad points, just like all of them. Lap times are very close to Pocono N. It's true there is nothing like Pocono turn 1 at Jeff but if you're looking for danger, ask about Ruth Bauman's aerobatic Boxter after the fast downhill left (going CCW). There is plenty to learn and we should be getting the word out, not the opposite. That there are openings in Green and Blue may be our fault more than the price of gas.

Terry could not be more correct. Jefferson is a great track on which to learn. I think I learned more there than any place else. Sure it is tight, but it allows you to make your mistakes without too much drama(unless your name is Ruth). And Darren is right. There is generally a really fun BBQ where you get to eat "Mr. Piggy". From rank amature through seasoned vet, there is much to be learned by driving this track.

It is a shame that there are folks who are so good that they don't need any further training, and feel the need to Poo-Poo this event.

It is all good folks! If I were not "house poor" at the moment, I would be driving on any track available. And as an added bonus, I would be hanging out with some really cool people.
