I submit that it tastes better while floating in a river.

Uhh, your fermented corn and rice juice is not beer.

Das ist ein wunderbar Lage. Einer der besten auf der gesmaten Strecke.

(That is an awesome place. One of the best places on the entire track.)

Indeed it is! And I wish I recalled enough of my high school German to respond in kind. I worked at the 24H in June, my first time there. Our car broke in the 13th hour, so one of our other mechanics was kind enough to show us around once everything was packed up. We hiked from Pfantzfgarten to Hohe Acht, and it was amazing. No video game does justice to the elevation change in this section. Laguna Seca is my home track, and maybe I'm jaded, but that made the Corkscrew seem tame.

I had been awake for well over 30 hours at this point, and that plus the magic of the place, combined with the beer meant that I was just giddy as a child when this picture was taken. Good stuff.

I call it "wreck corner," because that's where all the tourists over-estimate their ability and under-estimate their speed and then send their rental cars into the wall. The altitude change at this corner is what really does the driver in. There's a reason there are so many campers parked there! As I've mention in other post, I've seen countless crashes, spins, and near misses in this corner.

In the past three years, Ive only met two people who knew of Jalopnik or Oppo here, and both were Americans. I've tried spreading the news, though.
