I don't like this one bit, wanna race street courses, use an indy car.
My guess is that means resurfacing part of Balbo, because so many nerds go do burnouts over there in janky ass old Neons or whatever, and Lake Shore Drive, because it gets used so often by so many cars that it gets torn up really quickly.They've already said that they will need to make some changes to the streets for racing purposes
Imagine the fans they would bring back/gain if they invested the time and money they will spend on this disaster, the coliseum, and "Bristol dirt" and put that back into the root tracks of the sport, existing dirt/road tracks. Instead they insist on looking like 5th graders who discovered fanasty tracks on an EA nascar game.They've already said that they will need to make some changes to the streets for racing purposes

That'll be the end of my rants about it.
It's almost as if there is an accessible, complete, and fan/hauler ready race track just outside of Chicago already. Imagine my shock.I'll just leave this right here...View attachment 134986
definitely in Chicago, somebody could go spinning an end up inside a pizza placeI don't like street course period, I think they limit the drivers in using the cars full potential with walls 2 feet or less from theracing surface. Now, if they went back to days where they didn't have walls then maybe it's be better, but probably more deadlier.
Adelaide, Newcastle, Sydney, Townsville (and the greatest street circuit of all Bathurst) are(were) all pretty neat.
Maybe it's an Australian thing where we tend to have less straight lines when building roads?
If I was Grand Poohbah and Lord High Everything Else, then I reckon that 10 laps of I-465 would have been ab-so-lute-ly brilliant!
For elevation specifically, there will be barely and elevation change because they run right by Lake Michigan, I have been in that area quite a few times before myselfOne of the most underrated resources might be elevation data you can get from Google, along with a good idea of how the streets are crowned (for water drainage reasons). I'd imagine that detail in particular would be a much bigger headache than anything else.
It might be a headache to find, it might not.
