I used to like fast sweepers until I went to the track. To get any sort of thrill out of those now I need to be going faster than I'm comfortable on the street.

Tight/slower/technical - on the track!

Now I do agree with this...makes perfect sense. Flying around blind curves with all of the possible obsticles one might face on the street is what keeps me from enjoying that as much as the sweepers but on a track...totally different.

Shannonville and Cayuga might be tight and technical, but bogie has some turns that are pretty damn fast(turn one is a kink that can be taken knee down), and Mosport is almost all sweepers.

I'm nowhere near the skill level I'd need for Bogie or Mosport. I'm tentatively making plans to hit Calabogie late August next year, but only if I get quite a few days under my belt.
