Charlie,
Who thought the course was too difficult? As a rookie, I thought it was a
really good, thought provoking, course. When I was talking to two first
timers on grid, they didn't think it was a killer.
It was easy to memorize, always a weak point with me, and it had neat
elements that required you to figure out a plan carefully. Especially good
was finding out the back sweeper exit was almost a constant radius into the
following right kinks and that your whole run depended on the "slow to go
fast" discipline of the tight turns at the end. 3 clean runs, each faster
than the last, and times I'm happy with for being a newbie on streets. As
Hunter Thomson says, "Never explain, never apologia".
