Just a little food for thought, if you're using your stock speedo to judge speed at ~110, you're probably not getting that accurate a reading. At that speed tire brand/size/wear differences (not to mention possible speedo calibration differences??) are all going to contribute to error; so comparing 111 to 115 to 107 between different cars is really probably not too worthwhile.
um..Kamron..I'm pretty sure you have a photo you posted on facebook of how fast you were going......
Motoo, I don't know why you're calling BS, that 169 mph top speed that I logged just proves how much error there can be.

Motoo was telling me about this about a month ago, finally stumbled upon the thread. The track layout looks fairly simple, not much in elevation changes. Im definitely interested in coming now! How do the guys running the event deal with so many cars? There looks like there are 50-100 cars there!

Typically the answer is no. The only exception may be if you start in beginner and really shouldn't be (and your instructor recognizes it), then you and your instructor could talk to the guys who run the event and see what they could do. Also, in the beginner group, you can have your instructor "sign off" on you so that you can drive alone on the second day.
The track is big enough that you usually don't have too many issues. Most people are good about letting you pass. If they aren't, you can run into the pits and ask to be let out with some room and Chrissy (race control) will take care of you.
And passing on the straights works out well. It is meant to be safe and fun learning environment for drivers of all levels, and so far it has lived up to that.
