Doesn't look like they'll have the curbing behind the teeth like at VIR.

Much ado about nothing. That looks great, you should have signed one while you were there. Thanks Johnny!
That looks great. I've been smacking my knee into the T4 curb for years. This looks much better.
Looks good. Thanks for keeping us up on it John!
My assumption is that this curbing on the inside of 3 is the same as what is in turn 9....which was no problem at all. It did not have the little upright "wall" that the stuff from VIR has. The key words here are "more runoff".....anytime that you hear those words - it's always a good thing. I applaud those guys for taking the initiative to remove obstacles and add airfence.....anytime you do either of those things, we are ALWAYS better off.

Hopefully that link works. Lots of pics of the changes. I'll post them later if not.

I'll do it tonight if not.

Bergs, my post followed yours, but wasn't directed at you.Quote:

Anyway, What Eric said is really the important part. More runnoff is what was desperately needed, and we got it. Let's sing praises!!!
No worries, mon. I agree 100% with more runoff. I'm sure that anyone who has needed to use runoff of any kind agrees there can never be enough.Quote:

The old lip and drop off that ran up the hill and small gravel pit would hurt people who ran wide into it and then trying to get back on the track (especially track day riders)
Looks pretty good. No catch fence between 4 and 8?
For those to lazy to click the link.

So they aren't doing the backwall thing that VIR did... that's what I was worried about.
Looking good!
Looks like the beach area is cleaned up nicely too
I didn't get a good look at it yesterday, but the little I saw and the little feedback I heard was positive. Runoff is always good, and I think the curbing will be fine. It looks nice and open now, which is great.
