T12, may it rest in peace!

I'm pretty sure nobody suggested that DuHamel's crash was caused by T12. The point is that the consequences were disproportionately worse for it having happen there...not like that's news, as evidenced by the bulldozers currently driving around all over it.

 

I'm just glad that I got to experience T12 first hand.

It will be a fond memory for me.

Like everything else in life that changes, the new configuration will become the norm soon and have its own tales of spills and heroic passes.

 

But did he sue?


It is nice to see a race track making the nessicary changes to ensure more safety and, well, make things a little different from time to time.

 

Bye bye

 

Isn't that T1?

 

Nope its 12 taken from the bleachers after the Goodyear bridge.

Your not the first person who thought that.

 

For the bikes I'm happy to see it changed But now that I'm gonna race cars, I'm sorry to see it go....very fun corner when the bodily injury factor decreases.

 

It will be missed.

 

i saw somw video of someone following me into 12 my first time on the track. You can literally see my whole body tense up as Im heading into the turn. Gotta love that turn

 

LOL, I knew you couldn't stay out of racing forever!

 

I would rather keep turn 12 at road a the same and remove the damn armco barriers at barber instead.

 

Same reason people don't get eaten by sharks at the aquarium: we're too scared to go into the tank. It doesn't mean it's safe.

 

'Cause I peed myself a little the first time I went down that hill. It is very scary. I am glad I got to experience it, but I am also glad it is going away.

 

I still get chills thinking back to the first time i drove down to a motorcycle race. I was standing on pit wall and the F1 guys came hauling ass down the hill. I don't think there could be a more thrilling place to see bikes appear.

 

So all they're doing there right now is addressing a perception problem?
