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.

I've never been to Hot August nites before, my mother in law live up there and works the event every year and was hopin this year will be the first, but my bday shares with my lil sister and my brothers is three days later. I'm actually supposed to be in Bend that weekend celebrating. I would much rather be driving it at high speed than walking around a parking lot looking at everybody else's trophies. I mean, that's fun too, but I'd rather be behind the wheel,much rather.
