Shanendoah, first event

[mpg9999]

After this weekend I now have enough credits for a track day. I'd like to do one before it gets to hot where I'm more likely to run into heat issues. So, I was leaning towards the April 1 and 2nd event at Shanendoah, but some people have said thats not a good track to do your first HPDE on. Why is that? Not enough run off room? To technical? I was thinking a slower technical course might be good for me since its similar to autocrossing. I have even heard the course described as a high speed autocross. Thoughts?
