The straight at Summit is pretty long, it's a great high horsepower track. If you hit turn 10 properly you can carry a tremendous amount of speed onto the straight, basically you are hitting that turn in the sweet spot of third and once you hit the apex you can put the pedal to the floor for the entire run and you will need to shift to fifth.
However, the first turn is a 40 mph or so turn, so you better have the brakes or it's gravel pit and concrete retaining wall for you. People have died at that turn, I believe the last one was a high horsepower mustang that had 800hp in the engine with little to no additional braking or suspension mods.
