I raced BRAINERD in the mid-1980s. GREAT TRACK. Interestingly, one time
when I heard BOB TULLIUS speak, he was asked which was his favorite track.
With all the great tracks Group 44 ran, I was surprised to hear him say,
"BRAINERD". I asked him why, and he said because it was 'so forgiving...it
was the SAFEST.' It does have great run-off areas, but is SURE FAST.
