It's a great track to sling the car around and as Andy/Todd said hone your car control skills, it's just a little too harsh on the car and tires. I wouldn't want to go there more than once a year.

I voted "love it & want more," simply because I was lapping Turbo S last time I was there, and it never hurts to have more track event choices.

With that said, the way I feel about SC is the same way I feel about ski resorts around here. It's not the best, but it sure is close. I can come home after each day to take care of my daughter and build up brownie points, so I can keep doing DEs.

Plus the speed (relatively slower than SP) makes for less "spectacular" offs. I kind of just slid off sideways once and just kept going forward, back on in several yards.

BTW What is an Etude):?

I like it much more than SP main actually.

I love it. It is a thinking drivers track and you can't hide behind a wallet or motor. A wallet and motor help but not like they do on most other tracks. Phone it in and you will get a driver in your mirrors and pressing you in the corners. This track exposes "Drovers" like little kids flipping over rocks next to a creek.
TD is right the SC is a great learning track IMO. what you learn on the SC in order to control and use surface camber and conected turns will make you a better driver on other tracks. I think you learn more in a day on the SC than a 3 day on Summit main.

It is a hard track to instruct on but is not as hard to teach as I first thought before I ever drove it.

The removal of pit straight messed up one of the better sections as before you would come out of the 180 deg turn and have a good run to the set leading on to pit straight comming out of pit straight you had enough track to have to drive the cave esses. now it is all a throw down and the corner that replaced this section is a crappy lumpy off camber or flat turn and you can't carry enough energy through to make the cave esses work.

I personally love it.. its a drivers track, But I also agree 2x per year is enough. I like variety. I just ran Barber in Feb and it is very similar to Shen in my opinion, but a little better design wise, but 100x better in "niceness" of course... but both are tight and technical.

For those that like/love it, we've still got Advanced and Instructor spots available for our May 19th-20th Event! http://dorkiphus.net/porsche/showthread.php?t=12480

Funny, I like the Jefferson Circuit (for no more than a 20 minute session at most), but I dislike the Shenandoah. I would love to drive it in a kart however. A track should be equally appealing to a low or high horsepower car. I never got out of third in my C2. Granted, in the Jefferson I don't come out of third, but it's only a training track and doesn't pretend to be anything else. I have to say that I'm with Mark. With the choices of tracks with have and the increasingly limited weekends available, I would prefer another track. To each his own. If booking the Shenandoah helps keep Summit Point in business, then best of luck and I hope every weekend is filled with happy drivers.

I heard over the weekend that they were going to add like a mile to the Jefferson Circuit. Anyone heard similar or know more details?

Would never do it more than once a year even if its " free". Karrousel is a waste of time and wear&tear. Not much fun to instruct on, but better than I expected initially. Car is ideal 914/6 with 3.2 but after a few laps just don't get a nice flow, a jumble of interesting corners and great training but just don't flow for me.
As far as the Jefferson "upgrade" great, but repave the original S.P. first for crying out loud
