Thanks! I have raced on that track, and everything in the video matches everything that I know about the place. I would have probably given it a slightly lower safety rating. A guy who forgot turn 14 was so close after 13 could get into the pit wall awfully hard. As noted, there are close walls around 2 and 3 (they aren't really that dangerous because visibility is good, and it's a slow section of the track but it wouldn't be hard to wreck a car there), and there are trees you could hit if you lost it between 3 and 4 due to a mechanical failure, or a flat. I have also noticed that the track is really difficult to drive in the rain. There are darker sections of track in the area of corners 1,2, and 3 that are much stickier than the rest of the track when wet. They tend to unsettle the car very abruptly, and put cars into a spin. I have also noticed that the turn into 8 gets very slippery when wet, almost like oil is getting pushed up through the track by the rain or something. Anyhow, great video!
I went to a drivers school there a couple years ago, everything you said is right on. Once a month there on a Friday it's called "full course Friday" where you run both the north and south course.

Love these videos
Hi Andy. Great video. I will have to try your trick on turn 11 south. Thanks.
