Would this be considered a fast track or a slower track just from looking at the pic?

Based from the size of the cars on the freeway, it appears fast. At least the straights look long.

There is a huge elevation change between the track and the highway, which is why the cars are so small.. but I would agree... it does seem to be a fairly fast track.

I don't see much of an elevation change, it looks pretty fast to me, entry onto the straights looks kind of slow but very top speed oriented

It looks to me like a slow track with a few fast straights. I define a fast track by how fast you are going through the turns, and the turns look pretty tight.

How 'bout an in-car view of it to help decide?

Many of the drivers in the Midwest Division consider it one of their favorite tracks...a "driver's" kind of track.

It's a 1.8 mile track. The ITA record for counter-clockwise configuration is 1:30.
Compared to:
Summit Point, 2 miles, ITA record is a 1:29 (or thereabouts).

It's quite bumpy apparently, and a little more elevation change than is obvious in the picture.
