After taking the pictures I sat in the stands for a few minutes tyring to figure out what other existing track is comparable to the new L'Burg. I have been to many tracks all over the US and can say......there is no other track like it.
I am anxious to see the final grade and the clay put down. I have the feeling that the steepness in the banking we see now will dissipate some what.
I am looking foreward to see the first race like everyone else but I totally agree with Dave in postponing opening until it is completed and everything is looking good.
A perfect comparison is opening a new restaurant before everything is ready and people leave with a bad taste in their mouth and the critics tear you up.
As for "Lake L'Burg" I spoke with one of the workers who said they will pump out the infield as soon as the river goes down a little more.
I was also told that the outer safety wall is scheduled for completion at the end of this week.
My final thought is that this new track will definitely be challenging to the drivers and crew chiefs but most of all a fun evening for the fans
You won't want to miss opening night!

PS...Does anyone out there have any pictures from
50's of the old Cincinnati Race Bowl in Evendale?
If so, please contact me. Thanks!
