It's more intense then doing 4 hours at Summit Point on street tires in the rain.
That is effing awesome and takes me back to my youth when we had our own backyard version of this: take, make, cobble together anything with wheels, including tricycles, pedal cars, wagons and furniture (yes, furniture) and run it down Parmadale Hill, one half mile long, steep with an S curve in the middle. If you started at the top, you were likely traveling too fast to make it past the S curve, if you did, you had to voluntarily crash before reaching the end and shooting out into traffic on Ridgewood Drive. Looking fondly now at the still visible scars on my body, I realize now this was the genesis of all my motorsports madness.
