No Passing lane at Hoosier Park

[gh2009]

When Hoosier Park opens tomorrow there will be no more passing lane for the last 1/8 mile as a 60-day experiment to encourage more movement during the race.

Passing lanes are the worst invention ever.

For big tracks, it's damned retarded.

Hoosier has the longest stretch of any 7/8 mile track, why they even had a passing lane made no sense.

What about Hawthorne??

umm...Hawthorne has a 1/4 mile stretch

Forgot about Hawthorne because the track is garbage. Hawthorne's is 1320 feet, Hoosier's is 1255 feet.

I’ve been racing at Hoosierpark for 15 yrs


Stupid idea to remove passing lane

Jmho

I’ve won with the passing lane and lost with it

I just like that last 1/16.  To burst threw to get the win

If you're going to have one there, 1/8 of a mile is too long, 1/16 may be a little short, somewhere in between.

The drivers at the Meadows live for that passing lane.

All drivers wait for the passing lane at any track that has one.

When are people in the industry going to wake up and realize it is not what you want, it is what the CUSTOMERS want.  This is a perfect example why the handouts have to go.

I think ALL tracks should have a passing lane. Easier to fix races without one.
