I remember this Divisional, which I believe was also a
Bimbo's Revenge. It rocked. I vaguely remember fourth
gear, but we did most of the turns in 3rd. You'd just
set up really wide. And I remember Jerry Riley asking
me, later, "Um, did you know you were on two wheels?"
This was quite a change, because we never got to go
that fast in Pleasanton!
I remember working the back corners, usually a broad 180 degree sweeper,
with the BP and CP cars running. A black cloud followed the faster cars, like
Larry Park's Vette. The sandpaper-like surface was scrubbing off a layer of
rubber. The "cloud" was rubber particles. It would build up on the outside of
the corners. Not quite deep enough to "camber" the turn, but piles of it! -
