The other info looks good; I can't remember if I originally thought I saw the number for the extension of Turn 11 being 250 ft, but whatever.

In any case, I just wish they'd find a way to run the 2.520-mile course, because that's about the only way they're going to really improve the racing here. Short of that, they could at least reinstate the wider approach to Turn 7, like they used in 2005-07.
Cheers. Btw, where do you get your race track info from? It's always detailed and highly informative.
