of course there's concrete! at the 3:50 mark there's a giant sponsor sign that says "Carribean Cement Company"  they found the right track to market their product- "look how durable our cement is, no matter how many bikes hit it at 100+mph it remains intact!"

It's too bad. The track layout looks pretty fun.

I love the cars parked in impact zones and spectator sitting on the middle wall in an impact zone with his legs hanging over.    When I first saw this I was laughing so hard my wife thought I was watching a comedian.

 :biggrin:

Steamboat Springs and Park City had condo's, manhole covers, signs, drainage grates, etc. 

I've looked for some video on Youtube, but never found any.  I have some trackside stuff on vhs.

I remember talking to Darren Luck about racing there. He said he was quite busy riding there.

LOL.

Yea I was going to say that track is only slightly safer than Summit.  Pretty nuts.
