FWIW, I've now driven Lemons races in Texas, Ohio, and now in California at Infineon. While I've seen ridiculous, absurd, and preposterous driving at every venue and from seemingly every make, model, and year of car (except for the Citroen, which was always very courteous, what with its "Pass Here -->" instruction), the driving at Infineon was without question the most aggro I've ever seen at Lemons events.
Faster cars often seemed unable to be patient enough to pass in a good safe place (like on the straight after 11, or on the dragstrip, or between 4 and 6, just to name 3 easy spots) and often had an irresistible and undeniable urge to stick it in the middle and make Turn 7 a three- wide turn or insist on making the left side of 9a -- after the tires were kicked out into the middle of the turn, no less -- into a 2-wide turn. Turn 2 is not a 3-wide turn in any time/space continuum but I saw cars trying to make it that way, often to their own peril.
Like I said, there's crazy stuff at all Lemons events, but to me, what stuck out as different is the uber-aggressive shoot-the-gap and dive-bombing that passed for common at Infineon.
Don't get me wrong, I had a blast and can't wait to do it again! But there _is_ a difference in how the races are raced on the West Coast versus in Texas and the Midwest. Cheers!
