Dover is one of my favorite tracks to watch on TV (hopefully in person one day) because of the car's exit from the turns :-) Keep these comin'!M.E.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737427617674183304.post-48606577794495837572009-05-29T09:55:46.011-07:002009-05-29T09:55:46.011-07:00Bev in Charlotte,

It is a curious track with three different turns each designed to mimic an existing, famous track (Trenton, now out of business; Indy; and the Milwaukee Mile).

The combination of real photos with your drawings is very helpful, and how you walk through those diagrams.<br /><br />It would be great if you could put this type of analysis up for the various different tracks.<br /><br />Maybe an analysis of the surface differences (concrete vs asphalt).<br /><br />Also how the track surfaces change over time due to weather, afternoon/night, rubber on the track, etc. Those would all be cool too.Eric Chemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116294034979089827noreply@blogger.com
