The question I would like to hear the answer from by some drivers/instructors that have driven it, is this a course you would be comfortable putting a first time student on and being the co-pilot? Or potentially the student who is becoming comfortable and has greater "potential" then a student at the extremes of expierence. Is this track any worse then any other?
What were the experiences with the schools that were there? I haven't heard that the NJ school had any increased level of incidences that could be considered to disuade us from using the track. Were there any?
Here is an old photo tour of the track from when it was under construction:

Has the end of the pit wall improved in location since this photo was taken?

The loss of the skid pad is a huge let down for me, as I consider the skid pad to of equal fun/importance to me at these events.
I can understand the try it and decide after one school if we should use it moving forward, and I think Greg Johnson's point about getting on the register now is a valid one.
What is the thinking of all those who have driven/ridden this course about it's relative "danger" compared to other tracks? I think that a poll on that subject would be interesting to see.It will be far easier to stop using it if we don't like it than to get a date on it later when the other clubs have given it a thumbs up.
