By now you all know about the super preformance. In blistering heat (no pun Joelle) at least 4 F/C's in the 4,07's- fastest MPh in T/F,- P/S in the 6.5's and so on.
But the track, WOW. The stands are huge, but you don't have to go down to ground level, for anything. From your seat you go down a few stairs, (or ramp) and SUPRISE, there is a fully shaded cement mezzanine that must be 100ft wide and 700ft long, with food, drink, rest rooms, and tables to sit at. It was great. Oh and did I mention the fold down stadium style seats with arm rests and drink holders. (great for us with older backs)
And talk about clean - service people everywhere with brooms + dust pans. When we walked in in the AM's you would not believe there was a croud there the day before. Everything was swept and scrubed.
Non stop shuttles to parking lots and camp grounds. Tons of police working the intersections to get the traffic away from the track.
The one and only glitch was the sound system.....real bad. Problem was the speakers were behind the stands. So the echo was horrible. First you hear your speaker, then a half second later you hear the opposite side speakers.
Reminded me of that famous baseball player's speach: TODAY today today, I feel like, like, like the luckest man in the WORLD world world.
All they need to do is move them down to the ground by the wall, facing the stands, (like rt66) and you will only hear your speakers = problem solved.
We talked to one of the head people who was writing down suggestions, and he told us that he had heard that complaint numerous times, and was going to bring it up in the follow up meetings already scheduled, and was sure this would be taken care of.
I would HIGHLY recomend this track to any fan of the sport. We drove 12 hrs one way, and I would do it again.
It was great to see Murdock again, and get to spend time with Joelle. Also got to meet JW for the first time on Sat. (btw he won first RD in S/C with a super 004 light, CONGRATS).
Well time to shut - up for now.
