I had issues with the little dip about 70 ft out, made the car slide right, by sunday I learned to let off a little then go, car ran 550's at empire, so it was a little slower at Lancaster. the aa/gas class had pretty much the same issue, the dip lifting the car on the way out ,taking weight off the rears. other than that and a broken ring gear on the wife's car , we had a great time and the staff could not have been more helpful.
