looks kinda like a radar gun

Looks like a housing for a camera.

I've installed a bunch of those throughout the years. They typically have a fan and heater in them, basically climate and humidity control for the camera.

I remember thinking strange place for a Security Camera during my 1st. run on Saturday when I noticed it, LOL but that`s what it looked like, had them on my old job, I also noticed the flat black one pointed at the tree in the center of the track? I know I have been away from the sport for a while and I was meaning to ask about both of them.

I asked Bob Lang about them after the race.
They are for 1320GO.com live video feed .
He also said they used them to review David Bartons' crash.

Vegas has had that for the past 2 seasons. They have also had one at half track and at the stripe. There is a monitor for each camera in the tower. Gives the race director something to look at..............................
