Maybe the fact it's 3 years old is the culprit but thought all tracks had to have sand traps now (look at Norwalk) because of the Scott Kalitta tragedy (plus others). In any case people who've never run Pomona or Fontana before had better check their stuff before running and waste no time hitting the binders when crossing the line...looking for a win light, looking at oil pressure, etc is all secondary. Having run Gainesville several times it definitely spoils you.
