The Dakota County Technical College Track Night location is a very unique location.

David, DCTC is not a race track. It's a training course. Almost no part of the track is wide enough for safe passing, there are no corner stations, there is almost no run-off to speak of, and speeds over 80mph are fairly rare.
Think of it like an autocross, except instead of a huge parking lot it's just a huge set of paved roads.
Hi. Can someone please contact me regarding what to expect at a TNiA at this site? I’m hoping to blend a business trip with some track time but confused by the way the track is described. For reference I normally go to Heartland Park Topeka so trying to understand if this is more like a solo event or a true race track, or even a hybrid. Thanks!
