Let me just say that Dominion is awesome and you all need to get out there asap! I think this will be one of my favorite tracks. 115mph through the uphill essess on street tires is amazing. I would bet 130mph is possible through there with a faster car.
The track is super smooth and grippy so you can run really stiff spring rates if you want. Deff put your sway bars on a stiff setting because there is alot of transitions. Also, since there is only one strait, the s2k seems to be doing very good.
I dont have video but ill be back at dominion in 2 weeks and will post one at that time

Dominion is about 70% complete... Just because the pavement is ready doesn't mean everything else is. My beef: rocks. Got a chip on my windshield because there were so many rocks on track from being thrown on by the Lightening & Thunder racers.
Anyhow. As Lalasissyboy said, it's a fun track. As long as that Corvette gives you a point-by on the straights.

I'm glad to hear it's a fun track. Regarding the rocks.. where are all the rocks from, just off track? On some tracks there are some rocks, but I could see how it could be especially bad here because all the construction being so recent and ongoing.

Paddocks: North paddock and oval infield paddock are paved and in good shape. The infield paddock has a gentle slope up to the track edge if you are not in the center of the "bowl." Bring wheel chocks. South paddock is still unpaved and is currently a packed gravel surface.
Rocks: Yes, because construction. The fill dirt has rocks and DR did some last minute fillings at a few locations at track edges to eliminate drop off at NASA's request. So when anyone who clips the apex a bit too tight a bunch of rocks, dirt and dust get thrown into the track. This should be temporary. They will plant grass once construction is completed. Check out this clip from a racer and you'll see what I meant: https://youtu.be/boAVcRgVVMk
DR has potential. Just need to complete the construction and polish the finer points.
