This I would have liked to have known, also. I found out about 30 miles into my trip over from Terre Haute. I'm lucky I didn't get a speeding ticket.

(I still have the rocks if someone wants to see pictures) It breaks my heart to say this cause I am as big of a Burg fan as anyone, but "the track conditions have totally sucked this year." I would be asking myself, "what is different?" The prep? The dirt? What is the answer?

I didn't get hit by any, but when I was sitting in the pit grandstand during qualifications, every now and then you would hear a loud "PWONGGG", as a decent sized rock smashed into the aluminum. Or more often "PING" as smaller ones hit.
