Yep, IMO the second best track in the world.

In the 60's it was dirt.
70's it was surfaced.
80's all safety features put in and improved.

Many a driver went over the top (mountain) before barriers were erected.

Con-rod Straight (The fastest part of the track) was once straight with a 90 degree left hander onto the start/finish line.
SO many cars would lose their brakes and go straight on or roll.
Then they put in a dog leg to slow them down.
Roughly where the blue MPS Rolled.

GREAT TRACK

i'm a police officer and i see so many horrid car crashes every year. most people that do not survive are the ones either not wearing a seat belt or driving at a speed that is too fast for the conditions or road. crashes like those posted are good reminders of why we have speed limits and why we should think before we start driving like a knuckle head.
