Letter to Grattan
Hey Sam,
I was just reading this article on Roadracing World, where they talk about Mid-Ohio and Road Atlanta since they've been repaved:
http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=29870
The article made me think of Grattan. I've heard talks of a possible repave of the track this fall/winter, and while that sounds great – do you guys have any thoughts on how run-off will be affected? Surely the track will become faster with new pavement. My dad and I have always thought the track surface was fine (people just normally get spooked by the different colored patches, strips, etc.), but that safe run-off was more important. Like the guardrail through the sweeper, and when running counter-clockwise; the guardrail at the bus stop and coming out of T1 onto the straight. It can be pretty hairy through there and I think that is part of the reason a lot of WERA guys haven't shown up when they run CCW. Someone earlier this year hit the guardrail in T1, but fortunately they were okay.
Anyways, that's my two cents. I love Grattan. And I think it's one of the safer tracks in the area. New pavement is always nice, but I personally think added run-off and new bathrooms/showers that smell all fruity would be even cooler.
Thanks and talk to you later,
Eddie Kraft
