Yes it was that shape, Derek. When it was redesigned in 1982 they merely lopped off the turn leading into the backstretch and moved it in a couple of hundred feet. The race in December was due to delays getting a Certificate of Occupancy for the grandstands. They were hastily put up and there were concerns resulting in delays that pushed the race back. Vicari caught a huge break with the weather. Norm for December there is around 30 or so.
