At Sonoma -- there's many more turns than just T3 that can bite a guy. Pete and I have both spun in T7... I leave the paint from the wall on the car as a reminder of how not to go into that turn...
There's the wall on your left at T11 -- pretty high speed and a passing zone for our group -- then the wall on your left at T12 EXIT... it can be good for a scrape... if you're running NASCAR close or just loose it a little... And last time I was there my run group at the time (red) had two cars totaled in two different sessions out of T6 AKA "The Carousel"... one was a modified weird Porsche with a crappy driver (I'd ran with him before and he SUCKED)... and one was a brand spanking new Shelby GT500 that hadn't even gotten his license plate yet!
Show respect - and unlike me - don't think your f'n Parnelli Jones - and you'll L O V E this track... and have a fantastic time.
Peronally - I'm surprised you're not going to Hot August Nights.
