IMHO, this is the best course I can recall SFR putting
on. The first part was technical enough to punish over
driving, the straight was fun, the left hand banked
turn was awesome. Even on my *Miata*'s
non-competitive skinny Yokohama's I had tons of fun.
I didn't agree with the finish - it felt like a game
of chicken with the reflector - maybe someone can
explain the philosophy.
3rd gear is not a bad thing.
