The garages do have power.

Here's video showing the changes to Turns 1/2 and 8/9.

And a page from the HPT website showing the reconfigured turns at 1/2 and 8/9......

My understanding is that we'll use the new 1/2, but the old 8/8a set up which years ago was referred to as "Madness".  9 is the left, and it is unchanged.  Full GP course.

We'll see you there, John.  Don't forget to visit Baby Dolls.  Best steaks in town.

I like the look of the new turns 1 & 2, but is it just me or does it look like both are screaming lack of run-off area at the exit of both?

Steak and t!t$ what could be better.... well, ok I know a few things that could be better, but nothing I want a bunch of dudes watching me do....

There's no sex in the champaign room...

How much does such an establishment cost to enter and eat at? Might be able to fit a few people into my trailblazer for a drink or 5....

Actually, Baby Dolls is a HPT preferred sponsor, and I believe that there might be racer appreciation going on for the event weekend. 

Honestly, their sirloins are really, really good.  I think it was an $11 meal.  With no cover charge, that's really good for excellent food.
