[DeTomaso] NPC: F1

[Kirby Schrader]

Well, it is confirmed that they will rent the track out for club and private events….

But somehow… I don't think Space City Panteras, or POCA for that matter, will be doing so.

I was impressed with the many opportunities the wide track provided for passing and how relatively few accidents occurred due to car to car contact.  It was nice to see so many cars still running at the conclusion.  Of course on TV, the elevation changes are muted.  I suspect they are more challenging in the seat.
