How about the inside runoff near start/finish? And did Rich say anything about paving timeline for phase 2?
I thought about the camera, but we were trying to sneak in there between other sessions, and it had already taken me too long to take the crap outta my trunk and hook up my harness I didn't want to waste the time settup and aligning the camera.

As far as runoff, the *whole* track looks like it's got at least a 20' wide strip of nice smooth dirt on both sides, except for the wall at the S/F line that's got a foam layer in front of it now. At the ends of the track there's even more runoff, IIRC.

Rich implied the new paving would be ready for use this season. He also talked about adding a skid pad area that he'd potentially use for AutoX. His big issue w/ AutoX now is that it'd take up the road course's paddock, and he can make way more money renting the track for track time than for AutoX. So he's not "anti-AutoX", he just doesn't have the space from a profit point of view.
