I've been a couple of times now and it's a fun little course. There are lots of obstacles like tire barriers, walls and light poles so you do need to be careful. Here is a couple of videos I shot.

Great kart or smaller ricer car course, but still would be fun for a longer solo II type of event. jeff94ta was right though, be very carefull. Lots of stuff around the track, screw up and you're going to tag something. If you have never been on a road course, or your in love with your paint job, not the place to try it for the first time.

Theyre working on a 1/8th drag section that should be operational in the next few weeks.

I hit 3rd every now and again just to give the motor a break but yes otherwise 2nd. We were running a little different configurartion than they normally run so with the normal layout it's all 2nd gear.
