I loved that race for the pure absurdity of it. It's my holy grail race to watch again but no one has it on any site or youtube, which is unfortunate.

We could always go back to Fontana. It's in the LA market (which is massive market that will definitely bring in many people by default) and everyone loves watching races take part in a part in a parking lot with a bunch of temporary massive concrete barriers, then go out on the oval for a while. Plus they did filming for the last Herbie movie there (who doesn't like Herbie the Love Bug as he's just like a 991 GT3R).
It's good that IMSA and PWC decided to stop going to Barber. Having a beautiful track with great landscaping giving you excellent views of the track, good food, 20 minutes from the airport, plenty of motels and services by the track, a world class museum and the track even made it easier to walk from corner to corner by building that bridge (you can even take a shuttle) was just not good enough. That's why Miller is a much better place to go because it's 45 minutes from SLC, no services by the track, only 2 or 3 places you can physically see a car (beginning, end of the front straight and in a luxury suite above pit road), the shuttle rarely is down by the turn 1 stands (if ever at all), there's two places to eat at the track and the wind plus sand storms make it a unique experience. Miller is the perfect track to go catch Pokemon because you'll have lots of time doing nothing but walking for miles and miles because they force everyone to park outside the paddock (even though the Paddock is 90% empty). |
