One thing to note, and I believe it was mentioned, there is a large working fire extenguister on the outside of the guard wall up there at the turn. The wall is marked red for it as well. There are also quite a few fire extinguishers mounted on the outside of the guardwall along the racing surface and shutdown area.

Also... watch that ADRL video again and tell me how far into the shutdown area most of those guys are when they finally get on the binders and have the laundry out. Any racer that knows the shutdown is short should be getting it slowed down way earlier than that.

I also wanna make a comment on the website. They don't spend big bucks on that. It was built by the web guy that takes care of the dealership sites and is maintained by the track staff.

You all should make a stop in there sometime. Your tune would change. There isn't a more friendly staff anywhere and the facility is top notch.

All racers should be aware of their exit strategies and where the safety staff/fire extinguishers are at all times at every track. Only a fool goes to a new facility and doesn't check it out before making a pass.

I think we all know who are the fools at that race track.
