Still just something else a driver/owner has to buy to race.

As for the track itself I like it. Nothings ever gonna be perfect.
Maybe the raceivers are for the drivers who can't read, the chalk board will still be needed for those who can't hear. I am sure there will be a few who have problems with both.

I have enjoyed the times I've ran at Lincoln Park the last few seasons!
For the most part, other than the curb off of turn 4, the track has been as good as I've ever seen it! It has had good moisture and you can pass! That's what I like!

I thought it was a guardrail. My mistake. And maybe not taller wall, but move the catch fence up to the wall. That space there is asking for trouble when a sprinter gets airborne. You never know what could happen.

When a sprint spins have a 4 wheeler to turn them around then push it off with push truck, last keep the concession stands open. Second to last race I was there they were closed up before intermission. Great racing other than that
How about one ways for the sprints and for the cars with transmissions just stop them on the backstretch and send them out in the correct order rather than make a dozen slow laps? Lead car comes around and stops in the first turn until everyone is lined up behind him. Then GO!
