especially like this part..
"6. OVERRUN Beyond the Shutdown - Oops or Oh S**t!!! If you cannot SAFELY make the right turn to the return road, do not worry. You still have serviceable overrun. KEEP IT STRAIGHT!!! Spinning to scrub speed is never a good idea. The surface of the overrun beyond the end is SOLID (old pavement) but the surface ROUGH. Sideways off the end is also not a good idea. This “paved but rough” overrun is about another ¼ mile; then you will see cones in a Vee pattern intended to “funnel” you to a dirt road through the trees for about another ¼ mile. If you have not stopped by then, you will be at the highway. You now have a choice: find something to hit or keep going until you get to town. When you do finally stop, TURN OFF YOUR MASTER SWITCH!!!

"Agamemnon" has been developed for reliable track day use and more
From Joe Ellis (guy from btb in the uk) site about his lotus carlton
built specifically to withstand the rigours of open road racing in the States. Averaging 160 mph for 90 miles highlights any deficiencies in preparation!
