[Wichita-SCCA] Heartland Park Announces Road CourseConfigurationChanges

[Rocky Entriken]

Rounding off 1-2 may not be a bad thing, but I think 8 was good as is. It's a great passing corner -- fast approach to a slow turn that took some driving skill to do well. I wish he'd leave 8 alone.

  North is left.  The dragstrip is at the bottom, finish is to the right, tower back by 14.

  Apparently the are drivers that feel if they're not going flat out all the way around, that braking isn't racing, etc.  Oh, we have some of those at solo events....

    Rob, are you implying he (or somebody)  wants a more Nascar-like track?   I like Nascar, but I also think out of 36 races there should be 10 on a road course, not 2.

    I know track operators should listen to the drivers, but the "road course" character IS disappearing. 

    BTW, I am not that familiar with the curvy HPT, is north to the left side of the map?

      Thanks, I for some reason was thinking it was at 8.

      I found watching turn 1 from the hill west of 2 fun/exciting/uh-oh, especially on the start.  

      I guess the next step would be for Ray to connect 3 to 6, and 11 to 14....

        I hit the wall between turns 10 and 11.  I have mixed feelings about the
        changes myself, but there were MANY people that wanted to see something
        along the lines of what Ray is doing.  Anything to make the Runoffs better 
        is a good thing in my book.
