wow, just what we need a street course with trees on the other side of the guardrails and fences rather than buildings...
Also did you notice the turns with exception to the uphill have Less run off room... for example the downhill???
Not sure why they needed to ruin the "prestigeouse" look of the track by making it into a NHIS circle track or better yet a copy of the Watkins Glenn Nascar short track...
Soon we will have full course yellows for a local spin...
Disapointing... but we will wait to see the end results before we get really disapointed...
I agree with you. Though I haven't been to Lime Rock for a few years, I enjoyed the virtually unobstructed view of the track. As someone else mentioned, (I think it was Jeremy), where can the driver go if he/she crashes into those fences...scale them? Looks like the flags will be harder to see as well. Even NASCAR doesn't fly flags from behind fences, they have platforms OVER the fences so the drivers can see the flags if the lights don't work. I'll definately have to get down there this year to see what this all brings about. I hope for your sakes, it's not more full course yellows, those are a royal pain and a waste for good racing. :119:
