Wow, like the first time you see yourself in the mirror after you shaved your head... or your beard, or whatever.

So sad! Though I never did see it while I was lapping...

A pic I took during a December track day.

When I was last there, I wondered who decided it was a good idea to put an outhouse next to the iconic signature of the track.
While I appreciate the needs of the corner workers, who would say "Hey, let's put an outhouse next to what we're known for."?

Sorry to see the tree gone.
