We used to share the parking there with the kids coming out for the Friday/Saturday night drag races.
Fun to watch, although I prefer road courses myself.
I tell you though, coming around the last turn out onto the stretch with that concrete barrier right there would get the blood pumping, especially when I was dragging a knee around that corner.

Do you still go up to SRP?
Last I heard, they were not using(at least the full track) because of insurance issues?
