First time back on RA since the Peachstate PCA DE in October. Last weekend at the Club Race I noticed a new tire wall extension on the inside of the track at the bottom of the esses. They must have rethought their position re safety in that area. Thanks Road Atlanta for addressing the situation!!!!!!

Awesome!!

I think the TRACK should be more worried about lawsuits, if people post about a problem and they do nothing about it.

Don't know if I had anything to do with it but regardless, whatever it was that got them to install the t-wall sure makes me feel better. When Ashley was out there in DE's that was one of the areas that really concerned me given it is a pretty straight-in hit.

Disconcerting to see the forward mount of the right side net let go on impact. Good thing it wasn't a side impact where he needed it.

That bites -- looks like the car in front dropped some fluids.

makes me sick to think of the possibilities.

Nah, just a 944 cleaning out it's cooling system making way for a rod to dump nice clean (uncontaminated by antifreeze) oil up the track a bit further.....
