I haven't been there but after looking at pictures and flotrack video it looks like a VERY bad layout. Whoever designed it obviously was a sprint coach because it cannot compare to the Arkansas layout. No bleachers around the track and the bleachers on the homestretch look very far from the oval. We'll have to see though. I will be there in March.
