But it's definitely worth your time and effort. The first two turns are equal radius 180 degree sweepers that test your intestinal fortitude. 5a and b can be equally challenging, but 8/9/10... that's where you'll spend some time figuring things out. One transitioning into the other into the other.

Point being, it's a good mix of speed and technical. Streets is all technical, Big Willow is all speed (except for 3, which is why so many knuckle heads loose it there) I think Pahrump has done and excellent job of challenging a variety of skills.

Plus, the pavement's freakin clean and fresh and oh so lovely!

Just be careful of the tortoises! I saw one last time I was there. They bring the whole track to a stop.
I agree completely. I had a great time there. It was easy to get yourself in rhythm. I like all aspects of it, the dip in 2, off camber slightly bumpy 4, and especially the tricky ultra fast downshift under heavy braking from 8 into 9 and 10.
I went with SoCal trackdays and the open session was pretty cool, bit scary because some of the guys out there are fast on a level that I'm not even close to approaching yet, but cool because you get a lot faster just being on the track with them.
