After watching the videos of Sarah lapping on media day, I don't think the track is as small as people might think it is based on the grassy area in the infield; my guess is that there will be a dirt apron maybe 5-10 feet wide around the perimeter of the grass and the white tires will be out on the edge of that apron, much like Kokomo (no surprise there). Not saying it's huge but the grass does create sort of an optical illusion. That being said there may not be room for too many photogs and the pursuit dropouts, but they work out tougher traffic issues at the Little 500...
Also, I saw a picture yesterday of the Yard of Bricks on the wall at the start/finish (that's just way too cool) and It looks like Reese is getting the track worked in pretty well now; much more moisture, good sheepsfoot pattern, doesn't look like as many rocks. It's getting there. I can't wait.
