There is a full length course known as the national course, and the Club Course is somewhat shorter. It's where the Indy Cars test in winter.

The club course or short course basically runs without the front and back straights, after turn 10 just as you are hitting bishops bend - you make a right turn and wind up at turn 3. so you go from turn 3 through turn 11, very tough on brakes. I'm not a big fan of driving it - but you do get a lot of reps at the hair pin.

Mike I did that event last year. I really didnt want too but bunch of friends where going so I went.
We park out in the grass under the trees near the crossover bridge before 7.
It was WAY more fun than I thought it would be. I would recommend doing it.
It is a little harder on brakes since you loose the cooling from the long front and back straights.
Go and enjoy!!
