Gday
I havent been to eastern creek but my mums friend has been heaps of times and he
said at the end of the straight where JUDGE crashed there used to be a uphill
runoff area so that if there was mechanical failure or paracghute doesnt open
then the cars just go up that hill untiol they stop. But there is now a
brickwall at the end of the track so that if you have a failure then you run
satraight into a wall with basically no runoff distance. If thats true then its
unbeleivalble.
