Freshly paved and preened this year, with about 15 extra feet of width on the backstretch, the track looks deserving of it's new NASCAR pedigree. That 15 feet will be welcome space for many, but the infamous turn four will still be waiting to snatch whatever dreams are in sight.
I've seen out-of-state drivers seem to be in shock at their first look of the legendary track. Some have taken to it quickly and with success, while others never seem to get used to the tight turns. When the Outlaw Super Late Models of the touring Main Event Series comes to the town, magic hits the Magic City track. The thunderous noise of the low slung chariots cause earthquake-like shuddering in the bleachers. The lightning fast speeds down the straighaways which come to an almost sudden halt as the tight corners approach, cause the red glow of brake systems often and early.
Some abhor the place, some choose to ignore it. But more - the brave, the fearless, the skilled - choose to conquer it. I embrace it.
This Friday, June 15. 100 laps, $2500 to win. MERS. Barberton Raceway Park.
