Have fun in all the traffic... Try to get a couple signatures and do seat time instead, it's usually a little better.

Yea, I'm seat time qualified, but my budy is not yet, so I tag along as he gets his sigs. A bad day at the track is better than a good day at work.

Shenadoah is an interesting, technical and challenging track. I had the impression of almost always turning, running mostly in 3rd, with a big decision being if it's worth shifting into 4th for very short distances, and how to take the steeply-banked bowl. I didn't bottom-out in the bowl, but did scrape some plastic air damns under the car. A very diferent experience than HP-oriented old Summit.
