In short, yes, it is.

The problem with NHIS is that there is the NASCAR ring, which is well maintained and banked. (they realized nascar would bring in money so they dropped the nascar oval on top of the road course. Since then, the oval has been far better maintained than the road course). Therefore, there are transitions between the road course and the oval all over the place. You're not only going between different types of pavement, but also going from banked to not-necessarily-banked regions.

The ones in turn three (the one in the picture... there is one slightly to the left out of view, probably helped me crash..) are by far the worst. The ones in turn 10 (directly north of 3 on the other side of the wall) are a close second. The rest aren't too terrible... sortof....

Here is a map of the track and I've circled all the course/oval transitions.



I bet when I go to a smooth and high-speed track it will be insanely different, and awesome.

Yeah, that too. My bike hit it, but I didn't. In general you aren't coming into T3 hot enough for your body to get there, and if you do, you won't be going very fast.

I would kill to ride the 'ring. That dude is flying, considering he's got other bikes AND cars to worry about!
