Just a small question, almost insignificant, but it just caught my
attention yesterday and I've not been able to sleep since. :)

Those countdown markers to the bustop section at the Glen, are they
supposed to represent 100 yard intervals?  I certainly hope not coz, in
that case, they're way off.

When I was doing the pace lap at 35mph prior to a start and I went from
the 600 marker to the 100 marker in less than 15 seconds.  500 yards in
under 15 seconds at 35mph!!  I don't think so.  :)

YUP did the math. You should only cover 256.something yards in 15
seconds at 35 mph

I think its feet, hence the reason they start at 600 instead of something
sane like 200.

Which would be 768 feet.  The brake markers at the Glen are feet...
