But that's me.
I know some of our instructors dislike instructing @ Shenandoah cause it induces motion sickness.
Personally, I think each of the tracks we run has it's merits and issues and finding the best way to drive and enjoy each of them is part of the learning experience.
That being said, I love learning a new track. Maybe that's why I like Shenandoah so much. We were one of the first groups to drive at Shenandoah. Bill Scott invited a few of us down to try it out. We ran several different configurations, in both directions, before settling in on the config we use. That's was a blast. Nobody had any previous experience on the track so you really did have to read it vs. ask someone to explain the best line.

I think you need more numbers for the poll to be accurate. I like Shenandoah, but it is not a race track per say. Could you imagine a club race on that track? CArnage city, no room to pass. In order of rank for our tracks: Glen, Summit Main,Shenandoah, Pocono N/S, Jefferson. This take into account distance, fun factor, car wear. I would like to see two events at Thunderbolt and another Glen or Summit event or even Beaver Run?
