I was surprised at how bumpy the South course NASCAR turn 1 was. It appears to have been paved as 4 or 5 separate lanes, and the middle two are like driving over a washboard. Not fun doing 80+ on a 15deg bank with the rear end yawing out.
East is just too tight 'n twisty for a heavy V8 rear-drive car, IMHO. It's still fun, but I'll take the North track any day.

80+? 100+! Even with my Mustang I regularly get to 105 before braking, 110 on better laps. If I remember correctly, I've seen 120 with Camaro (running out of 4th gear), it's been a while ago. The banking on the South course is actually faster than on North, and you enter it faster out of the last turn. The entering speed is 70+. Yeah, the bumps are a bitch, the way the car twitches scares me a lot, but on the banking you can go much faster than it seems possible at first.
Oops, just realized that you might not be using the race tires... I'm not sure, how big the difference would be, since on Mustang the speed is limited by power, I pretty much stay flat on the gas all the way through.
