And so, we are back to Road Atlanta.
[/b]
Have you ever been there for the Mitty? If not I'd highly suggest you go and see just how packed things are with 400 or so cars and a upwards of a few thousand fans. It ain't pretty, there is no way in hell Road Atlanta is ready for the car levels would bring in much less amount of workers it will take to make it happen. Room for tech is not there, there are 2 showers on both sides which means workers showering throughout the night, getting cars to grid would be an absolute nightmare plus time of year is not great. Many of us take from 16-32 hours of work for Petit, don't know how many could swing that amount a couple of weeks prior. Personally as much as I would love to have the Runoffs at Road Atlanta unless some pretty big things are done its just not feasible at this time. Give them a year to figure it out and they are willing to spend $ we'll see. I think VIR would be the best choice at this time and yes the weather can get bad sometimes, sometimes it can be good, sometimes it can be great and sometimes you'll 3 different conditions in the same day. It is what it is, so be it. Hell, Mid-O had SNOW during the Runoffs.
