Not only is this a true engineering project feat, but give you better perspective of the pitch of the track itself.

No wonder they spin the hell out when the cars come off the wall. And aren't they lowering the speed again to 160 max?

Ugh. I thought racing was balls to the wall all out, 240+... Ever since ol' earnheart, they've takin a lot of measures to ensure more safety. Soon they will just be driving in autox. Atleast there is some kind of rush there.

Oh wait, they do.

Im not a NASCAR fan (at all), but thats cool. I cant remember if it was that track that was really bumpy around turns or Indy. Hopefully its faster and smoother than before.

I was hoping they would have done it next year. I was going to do an HDPE there this month. It got cancelled. :tisk:

Maybe this is why my GT5 B-Spec driver brakes on this track...

He is still getting used to the newly paved surface. :squint:
