surprise!.. Now a major new grandstand with a fine view of 95% of the
track, paved paddock roads, grassy parking areas, and more room in the
paddock that most tracks. Shannonville has been hosting professional
endurance racing series for the past number of years, and has invested a
lot of money to upgrade. Even has showers...
The track has also been upgraded, with a "high speed" version that
bypasses the tricky infield section of the old "long" track. This saves
time and tires - most fast guys expect to use up at least half a set and
often a full set of tires when running on the old track. This is a
pretty technical track that rewards smoothness - several years ago Tony
Burnett, in his Cooper-S, qualified on the pole of his session, with a
time that would have had him also on the pole of the Historic Corvette
type group!
