One of the problems with ovals is that they are usually banked.  This
causes the water to flow and pool over the track and pit areas.  Until
it can be done safely I'll settle for the old red flag approach.

F1 cars don't weigh in at 3400 lbs and do not sustain their high speeds
like on an oval like Daytona or Charolotte.
