the place needs to be leveled...for the second year in a row at this event there was a horrific crash into the bridge. the layout is fast and fun, and the people are great, but the course is just unsafe. it needs to be brought up to current safety standards.
and it is not 2 miles long as commonly advertised..it is only 1.81..
DJ is fast, but more power to him. It's not just his car, he himself has the goods.
I agree that the place is unsafe, but I would not change the course configuration. Instead, get rid of the bridge abutment and build tunnels under the track or something and move the damn tire barriers back another 50 yards. Also, create extra run-off in the Carousel and put beaches on the outside of the corners.
I'm not afraid of the place because it's my home track and is where I cut my teeth doing track days and driving schools. It is what it is and I always appreciated the track's unique character...
