Grand Am at New Jersey Motorsports Park.
I just spent the weekend running a track event at this brand new facility. First off, it is a first class facility even though it still looks like a construction site in a lot of ways.
However, there are a few talking points:
-Pit out is extreemly narrow and empties onto a fast short chute.
-The back stretch features a good crest. My track car would get real light and occationally spin the front tires. I will expect race cars to catch a bit of air as they come over the hill. I call it "the hump".
-There is almost zero vegetation in the run off areas. Anyone who puts a wheel off will cause a dust storm.
This WILL be an exciting race to watch. Turns one through 4 are fast with straights in between. T5-14 is a technical like the first half of VIR.
