Pretty much the same feeling I had about Indy when I was there a few years
ago. Somehow it looks bigger and grander on TV. The track is surprisingly
narrow, too.
Here is one of my shots with that State Fair look: Folding frickn' chairs
are the best seats in the house.
Yup, I had a wtf moment when I peeked into the boxes and saw all those
chairs, complete with a decent coating of rust.
Where the place really looks old and small is from that angle, in turn
one looking back down the straight. And the track really does look
narrow, you almost can't imagine three cars going in there abreast.
What's really big is the whole layout, given that it's a 2.5-mile
oval, which is also why they can put in a pretty decent infield
course. Completely different than a place like PPIR or Phoenix.
The one view that really gave you a sense of size was during the race
looking up the straight from turn four. With the spray and the rain
mist and the wind, the bikes would eventually just disappear entirely.
Still, I don't know that the whole layout is actually as large as
Miller, I kinda doubt it. And I'll take the weather there as well...
