Yeah. Big Willow is the 2.5 mile track with 9 turns. Streets is 1.7 with more turns! The last turn before the front straight is also a skid pad. It's really bumpy and strange. That's the turn where I almost high sided.
They have a go kart course too, I think.
The big track is much less 250 friendly
You can see after you come onto the back straight, it's pretty much all power until turn 1. When I rode there, I'm basically topping out the bike for half the time. I liked streets so much more but big track is where they do the 250 cup races.
