IMHO, North course backwards is awful because of that turn off the bowl. You get more speed going that direction because you can accellerate from 2 thru 1 instead of slowing down in that section. Then when you get to the turn off the bowl, you are braking, turning, and looking at that silly wall on the outside. So yes, my Acura has a pinstripe now
I'll also second the vote for never running Jefferson again. It's tough on brakes/tires and not that much fun. I'd love to see another date for Shenandoah instead.
Quote:Every course has its turn that requires a little extra respect. Don't see this as a reason not to run it. After all it is DE and not racing so we certainly should be able to minimize the risk with a pointer or two at the drivers meeting about the turn.
What is even more fun is turning right into the North course from the main straight. Big sweeper that lets you carry lots of speed. To bad we don't have the full track and run the IMSA course.
