Ok,
The owners of this track are going to make sure it is 100% safe. They are committed to doing it right, end of story. We are making this our home track for 2012 and will host the majority of our track day program from here.
The trees are not in the way at all, yet if they become a concern I am sure they will be removed.
Yes, we drove the track in the current state. We were not out to set lap times, we were there to see the track, get familiar with the line etc. 7/10 maximum was the stated requirement, I doubt in the laps I posted we were running above 5/10's, yet no one was comming past us..... Everyone there understood what we were doing.
Now, we had the Bullet Racing Cup Cars there along with a Helicopter shooting video the day after, so stand by for some of that footage!
Cheers
