Walls, no runoff, crappy layout (IMO) and a crest that pretty much demands any car that is remotely fast..let off, coast otherwise you don't have all of the wheels on the ground when you want to commit to the brakes. Main is OK, aside from the deer. Jefferson if you mess up you can end up in the trees...

03threefiftyz - I definitely share your concern about trees when I was on the Jefferson circuit, per my limited experience. Given your high experience level, do you have a recommended raceway for beginners that is more forgiving? I live in Howard County to give you an idea of my location.

btw - I have seen your car at Hill's Garage a couple of time, very impressive setup. Frank is an amazing mechanic.
