I agree,
each track/course etc has it's own challenges. I don't care what sanctioning body or license you hold,,, for your first ever (or in a long time) run down a course, I would at least want you to stay BELOW 150mph and go long to see the entire course and shutdown areas. After that it would be up the powers that be to allow you to run all out or limit your second pass to 175.
Just my opinion... but even if I was allowed to go full out on my first pass at a strange track,,, I would Not,,, I would take my own advice above.
FYI- Even though I know the course at Maxton, my first pass in April (after our winter layoff) is a "shakedown" pass...Just to make sure... Better safe than sorry.
