The big problem is the wind. As you go around the circle you would have to be constantly adjusting your heading relative to the runway curve to adjust for the wind angle changing and even worse, your ground speed in the air and air speed on the ground would be constantly changing as you move from head wind to cross wind to tail wind etc.
