I have always wondered . . . . .

Is that Graffiti on the track? What is with all the writing?

I could be wayyy wrong but I think all that graffiti is from the WWII era, there was no one to regulate the track so ppl did what they pleased

They actually condone people doing it when they have an "issue" They often are places where people spin or crash

You are way wrong most of the graffiti gets put on the track right before the 24 hour race at the track in support for there favorite race team. Sometimes you'll see memorial marking on the track from where people died on the track too.

Thanks man, On Sunday I almost hit the wall a couple times trying to get my last laps of the day in the rain. The azenis tires will make you pucker up on a wet track very quickly.
