Dragging In Adelaide

[Oosh]

The biggest problem I can see with that idea is creating an area for sufficient runoff at the end should anything go wrong - the strip would have to be moved down substantially, and it would cease to be a part of the racing circuit.

I don't know the layout that well, but based on a map pic, I can't see why not.

The darker area is the strip yeah, and runs from right to left?

Looks like there's plenty of room further left to me...

Ash, from what i understand..... it would be rotated 90 degrees, but now that chops has brought that up maybe their thoughts are to run it west to east not east to west as it currently is! But maybe there is more land than what we see there! it sure sounds like a good idea to NOT race into the sun tho!

You see there is about the strip length again at the end of that strip, then the runoff area after that (sandy).

I'm not sure they'd get approval to run it towards the road - if anything went wrong with a top fueller it could potentially head towards the road, rather than away from it into vacant land as it does now.

Also, I'd rather it opened sooner than after a full rebuild - I'm considering selling my car with no place to race.
