The Magic Of Motown Oakland reviews
A Great Event
This race at COTA was amazing for the first time. Easily the nicest track I have ever seen, the track looks second to none. Great general admission seating with awesome views from turn 1, all the way to turn 19 looking into 20. The observation tower was a great feature and you could see a lot of the track. They need more COTA merchandise locations, my two complaints are. Most the police I saw were standing around talking, not doing anything, ever heard of posse comitatus? The national guard being there was my other complaint. A great event weekend with friendly people from all over the states and the world, other than that. If you missed the race this year, you must go in the years to come. They say it's an assault on your senses, but that is an understatement.
