It used to be quite scary going into that last corner and seeing nothing but solid rock in front of you.

I hear you there Ric, I have twice experienced the horrors of stop/go corner (only from a spectators point of view) as that was where I would always sit. First was a Go-Cart hitting it full on and second was Terry Bosinjak in a brand new Porsche. He was leading the race with one lap to go, came into the corner and suddenly had no brakes. He tried to turn but the ripple strip just made him fly straight into that rock wall. The earth shock & there was silence from the crowd, all expecting the worst, but he got out ok. Mind you the new porche never turned another wheel. Ahh, the memories.
