Chad,
Great read! I assume they required you to wear the balaclava? I was also wondering about the wrecks. Are there really that many accidents and if so do they have dedicated wreckers on site to deal with them? This subject is fascinating to me and I would love to hear more. This is one of the items on my bucket list.

Pretty cool! I drove it years ago when our Corvette club toured Germany......was in a Volvo V40 1.6TDI wagon.....12-14 minute lap times.....still had a great time and had the front brakes ventilating black smoke after the hot laps I did. This is definitely a "bucket list" item for any car person.

Thanks everyone! It was the ultimate track experience. The only way to top it is to drive my Camaro there

Actually, I didn't have to wear a helmet. It is optional but with the risk I was fully intending on a helmet. The balaclava was more for hygiene/sanitary reasons.

Yes there really are that many accidents lol. It is seriously nuts how often cars wreck out there. They have a huge support operation. Dedicated wreckers, track marshals and even a dedicated life flight helicopter. If the helicopter is uses to rescue somebody then the track is closed until it returns. People wreck their so often they have a standard price list for everything from vehicle recovery to by the meter charges for barrier damage to by the minute charges if you close the track...

If you have any other specific questions hit me up.
