Re: Scott Kalitta-----rip
It's actually a long shutdown area compared to Pomona and Columbus but what it is the main road that you enter to get into the track runs behind that barrier you saw on TV. If your leaving the track and make a left (I think it's Union Rd) you can actually see the end of the track and the sand. The only thing I think they can to make it better is bring the sand forward. If anyone remembers about 15 years ago in the final of F/C Chuck E. and Johnny West ran and Johnny hit the wall off the start and he was knocked unconcious and the car continued down the track till it met "The Wall" and it burst into flames and Johnny had burns and a some broken bones. E-Town gets enough crap from the surronding areas due to noise thats why they have such a strict policy on no engines beofore 10am or after 10pm so asking the town to give them more room for a new shutdown area is never going to happen. The wall is there to "protect" any cars on the road from being hit by a car going off the track. It's kinda crazy when you think about it.
