Caught me at pit-out in photo #3
Thanks for flagging. It really helped. I had two students - otherwise I would have volunteered.
Of my years at Shenandoah - I have never heard of a car going off the skidpad and getting close to paddocked cars. Even in a spin from the oversteer exercise - you get grip immediately off the wet line. The only real risk from my experience is the little ditch near the back hill...which is why we usually don't try oversteer just before it.
The nice thing about that skidpad is that its right in the paddock and its really easy to get to for everyone. Accessing the skidpad on SP Main is a PIA and eats into track time moving the skidpad groups back and forth on the cold track between run groups. In any case - skidpad time is hard or impossible to get at many tracks and DE participants can't get skidpad experience.
Personally - I like Shenandoah.
