CART 2001 - HOUSTON - ROUND 17

[@heetseeker8017]

Can’t believe they let that start fly. That was horrible.

I remember that one because I was in attendance. It was unsettling to be in Downtown Houston post 9/11 (the race was in October), and the runway in use for William P. Hobby Airport (one of the two major airports for Houston in 2001) put the approach path of the airliners right over Downtown. I also saw the initial coverage of the invasion of Afghanistan in the Firestone promotional tent.

Still trying to figure out how vasser went from 3rd to 14th on last stop!

One of the worst street circuits ever in the USA. And that's saying a lot when you consider layouts such as New Orleans, Phoenix, San Jose, and Des Moines. However, I think the Houston circuit is going to look really good once we see the street circuit in Nashville.

Miami Bayfront is the worst ever

@@AlonsoRules Yeah, that one wasn't good. I can see similarities between the two...I'm going to start referring to Nashville as this generation's Miami Bayfront.
