Anyone have any vids, or general commets about this track?

There is an exibition Redline Time Attack event in March, and I heard this track is hell.

Its just an unsafe track, they have walls in bad places for insurance purposes...the track was just poorly designed. You can see where there is like 2 feet of dirt between oncoming directions of traffic...

They had a big race scheduled there but canceled due to safety reasons.

Here is a video of folks from the cobra forum who went, the place is just way to unsafe. Think about what would happen if someone lost it in the esses, either they could slide across track into on coming traffic or even into the wall. Not to mention braking towards a massive wall.

I won't talk about all the pine trees only feet from the track.
