Just returned from open practice at the new track in Hawthorn NV. After the night's layer of snow was bladed off there was no need to water and the track was about perfect. Shaped like kidney on an 1/4 mile banked clay oval - start in front of the grandstands, into 23° banked corners 1 & 2, down back stretch there's a sweeper left into infield, hairpin back right, over highspeed roller, sweeper right, off-camber left onto oval back streatch before turn three, into 15° bank turn 3 & 4, straight-away to start. Steep banks create lots of inertia that soaks up horsepower. Banks also slow momentum without breaks so higher speeds can be carried further into corners 1&2.
