Only problem I have is that I never get shots of the run groups that I have students in. Maybe I should sign off my group 3 students!
How hard is this track on one's suspension? In car vids seem kinda violent.

lol You have no idea; vids don't really communicate it effectively.
Until I softened my rear springs earlier this year (fronts were 1600# coilovers at the time), T10 was the equivalent of two uppercuts from Mike Tyson in his prime. For real, no BS - car jumped sideways with a BANG! twice to get across the NASCAR straight transitions in that turn. Strictly a keep-yours-way-up proposition or you risked losing the car there.
This track is the toughest on a car that I've ever been on. Second was Vacaville when it was still open.

Nice pics. Thanks Neil
NHMS is pretty comfy in my car. You guys are just wound too tight. Or maybe just your cars. A street or compromise street/track car won't have any problems at NHMS. The uneven transitions do make interesting car-control challenges for the unwary. The chute between T10 and T11 is no place to check your injector duty cycle
This track gets a fair amount of hate, but I actually really like it. It is not a flowing track like the Glen or VIR, but it has really interesting turns, some of which have multiple good lines.

It was an "interesting track" last weekend with 128 Lemons cars on it. I don't think I've ever gone into turn 8 three wide or had 3 cars try to go into 10 before. Apparently you can take 3 wide through 1 though.
The track is actually smoother in the Mustang than in the M3.
BTW, calling me wound too tight is like calling the kettle black...just sayin' it!
