i know its different everytime but whats the setup like is there any bumps or elevation changes?
whats the surface like is it rough pavement is it worn etc.

thanks for any input im planning on running the sept event there

Nice large lot, about 4 times as large as PIR hot pits. Not perfectly flat surface, but not that bad either, interesting off cambers corners are alway present in every course. The asphalt is good quality but depending on what type of tires you have you will have good grip or it's like ice. If you have Hoosier DOT race tires it's like ice, overheating is what it seems like. On the East end of the lot there is a rather large drainage transition so watch your rebound settings if have that option or your car will be unstable.

See attached photos of me at Packwood.

Peace
