bvfd_gordo Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 If you look at an overhead photo of the track in the infield before turn one and after turn four there is pavement that loops into the grass and then back into the track. What were these used for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodrow_augustus Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I was told that those two "LOOPS" where put there by a filming crew. they were for the cameras. Dont know how true this is. Those 2 loops were part of a go-kart track. Thet would put a make shift barrier down the front stretch to seperate the lanes. The loops were actually where the go-karts would turn. If I am not mistaken this was in the early 60's. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
