OK, I don't like unguarded armco any more than anyone else but, if you make it to the armco in that corner you really did something wrong!
.

Nobody was ever supposed to hit where Haskovec did either.

I've never been there, so I don't know what leads into that corner, but freak things like shearing a brake pad should be considered when placing airfence.

 I was just making an observation. There may be no danger at all....

Leading up to that arrmco is a series of alternating 90 degree turns. If you are running a good clip it can be difficult to get out of the righthander preceeding the turn pictured on the right hand side of the track. The Pictured turn is also significantly banked and much faster than the preceeding turn. The armco also sits at the top of a significant hill as well. All in all I have run Blackhawk, Gingerman and Grattan, Blackhawk and Gingerman both have turns with the armco much closer. Photos can be quite decptive, especially where hills are concerned.

BTW STT runs the morning in normal race direction and the afternoon backwards, backwards you can hit that turn MUCH faster and that armco was never an issue. Very fun track.
