As long as you hugged the corners in the sandy areas I thought it wasn't too bad.
If you got out wide at all you were definitely in a pile of gravel. From the start to the pivot cone was treacherous off line.
The back half of the course was really grippy though. I didn't feel like there was any gravel from the chicago box all the way to the start of the bleachers.
I am not convinced that race tires would be better than street tires though.
