Anyone notice in the vid that the track kind of goes downhill. Or is it just me?

looks very downhill to me!!!!.... might be the camera angle...... but i think it is downhill.

If you stand on the start line at Willowbank you would also swear that goes down hill.

Trick of the eye I think plus the run off area goes uphill slightly.

Good point! And standing free held camera angle does'nt help either.

OK, the rules state that a Drag track may only change 13 feet in altitude from start to finish.
At Sydney .. WSID, the construction crew went to a lot of trouble to build the track with exactly 13 feet of altitude change from the start to the finish .
Now it could have gone Up Hill or up and down in several Bumps but they thought that a smooth Even surface was
preferable.

WSID was built with Exactly 13 feet fall from start to finish
- complies with rules and gives the Best in the world Times
which is what we want.

So Yes it does Go Down Hill = Very Smart..........
-
and the braking section goes up hill to help slow the cars down
