I don't think that the introduction of a banked corner (Club) was part of an idea to create an oval. However, there was an embryonic plan in the early to mid 90s to construct a non-banked oval (of sorts) involving Stowe, Club and a link from Abbey to Chapel for IndyCar. This was in addition to the later plan for a short(er) oval on the Rallysprint site.
