Upper part of the course had a new 'pucker factor' wrinkle (at least for me) near the top of the course. Check the video again and at 15-16 seconds in you're rounding a sweeping left-hand berm. Now, right after exiting it at the 16-17 second mark) you see two big pines on the right? there's a double there with the kicker even with the first tree and the landing out even with the second (about 17-18').
Mind you, with my race-organizer duties I only got in three practice runs in all weekend; so I never got myself carrying enough speed exiting the corner to where I felt confident launching that gap. Needless to say, it will be my next hurdle to conquer on that course.
Aside note: The observant eye will note the much-more-svelt (and sturdier I'm told) upper shock mount - - replacing the somewhat odd boomerang-looking gusset that the earlier models had.
