    That is true. My Grandpa raced showroom stock back in the day (late 70's) and they would run it backwards every once in a while. He said it actually was faster running it backwards than clockwise (not much though...maybe .100 or so)
    But then it got pretty dangerous so they stopped it after a few races.

    How about coming out of 1 full tilt and staring at that bridge. No thanks.

    Hey - if the modified guys can do it....I'd give it a try. The uphill becoming a cliff that cars fly over is the only safety concern I can think of.... The crest of the downhill becoming the crest of a long uphill would be a cool turn, very difficult.
