Great points about the track, Purist. I think I've seen a big one a Martinsville once or twice and Iowa is actually a copy of Richmond
, but good points, nonetheless. And I still love Pocono.
I've seen some comments elsewhere that the walls and fencing at Indy are much different than Pocono; statements that the walls are taller and the fencing? Well, let's just say it's put together better and has likely been upgraded; some of the chain links at Pocono are rustier than than the rust belt.
It will be interesting to see the discussion going forward, but if Taku hadn't "Satoed it", we'd probably be talking about a great race that made the full distance.
Edit - and here's hoping Felix has a speedy recovery.
