You will have a blast! I recommend the test day. The track is GREAT to drive, but the practice on Friday makes for a WAY better weekend. Dan H. and I went there in the spring and both had a blast! He won ITB on Sat. and was 2nd on Sun. I was 7th in ITA both days and I drove like a 12 year old! (Grand-Am supprt race was 2 weeks later and I wanted to do that event!) I levt several seconds on the table... GREAT track - can't wait to go back and give it another go! Long course on Sat. and short course on Sun. - I like them both! The bad would be that anything that happens on track leads to a FCY. No 'hot' pulls, so one issue and your session can be over.
We met some real nice folks while we were there! Also met several not-so-nice folks - More than you'd expect at a race weekend... The workers were all GREAT! Track is AWESOME! And whatever you do - Talk to people to find the 'easy' route to the track. Mapquest and GPS took us up and down 6-8% grades for 30 miles!! That sucked! The trip home was awesome once someone told us the 'easy' route!! We drove over Thursday and stayed the night at the track next to the registration building. There were 30? folks who did the same. So the 6am registration and test day sign-up were easy!
