Sonoma Changes

Or they would likely have to radio every pair to the tower if we continued to use the normal staging lanes. The dragstrip manager was given VERY short notice that this was happening and is working on a plan for the (few) bracket races and wednesday night drags happening this year. Still doesn’t make sense to spend the time and $ on a demo and give up the revenue from the tower suites, all just because it was obstructing the view of a small section of their precious road course.

Should??
That’s quite a distance and I’d need binoculars to see the dial from there..
There’s no view of the track ( only maybe starting line or second floor) from the Media Center.
Things went downhill from the covid years and continues..
Certainly hope things improve..
