Ya , the rock situation was borderline dangerous. There were more than a few golf all size rocks zinging out of there. Again that was late models with four huge tires. Other cars might not be as bad.

I saw no evidence of rocks. I didn’t see anyone else with eye protection, and after I saw no rock problem I removed mine.
Overall my initial experience was positive.

The good things about Circle City are the grandstands where there is not a bad seat in the house. Also the concession stands are nice and the food is mostly reasonably priced and they move the lines along pretty good. The bathrooms are great and hopefully will be kept as clean and sanitary as they are now. The variety of shows is another plus and the facility has a good PA system. Bruce Eckel |

If you sat in the pit stands off 3 and 4 you definitely noticed the rocks. When the sun was still up the track seemed sandy and dry for the heats but seemed to hold moisture after the sun went down. A couple of big rollers developed that caused more problems for the sprinters than the midgets but aside from that I think there were 3 legitimate grooves and they were really ripping it right against the wall in 3 and 4. The top line was a little lower in 1 and 2 but still plenty wide and racy. I never saw the old Kokomo but the racing reminded me a lot of how they mix it up at the new version, just on less banking.

We sat just to the right of the flag stand towards turn 1 about 12 rows up. Not once saw or got hit by rocks. Didn’t see anyone else get hit either.
I’m sure it depends a lot on where you sit. Walking underneath the stands you could definitely hear them pinging. Fun track - we will go back!

The three of us saw no evidence of rocks. We were fairly high up and to the right of the flag stand.

There was one individual that visited the ambulance outside the track to be treated for an injury from being hit by a rock. Pretty good cut to the nose I was told, but treatable with just a bandaid. Fortunate he wasn't hit in the eye.

When we ran TQ's there, we had an awful rock problem, people in the stands would come out to help us clear what we could so we could use the track, some even brought their kids Radio Flyer wagons to haul them, Liberty is the same way, has been forever, seems like they just work up thru the soil, from down deep, it's really a dangerous situation for everyone, too bad when they evidently have nice new facility, it was so dusty before also, maybe they'll get lucky and the rocks will stop working to the top.
