I like the impound area, as it accomplishes a few things. One, it lets all the heavy hitters be together in one area, which is better for both tech crew and fans alike. Just a couple tech guys can watch the whole group and not have to be all over the pits, plus easy for the fans to find those guys if that's what they want to see. Second, I personally think it's fair for those guys to get a shot whenever they are ready. At most, unless they have problems, they are only going to make a couple passes anyway and with some of the maint and work done on those cars, it can't happen if they have to sit in the lanes all day.................And on a personal note, with them all in impound, I don't have to walk as far.............LOL!!!
