I appreciate that Chez Summit is there in a pinch, but if I have more than 30 minutes for lunch, and if I neglected to bring my own lunch, I'll usually opt for fresh prepared-to-order sandwiches and grill items down the road at the Railside Deli.

I think better food would be pretty widely appreciated, but I understand the challenges to making that happen at reasonable cost, too.

More covered viewing, t10 t3 inside of 9 would be cool

Paved parking out of way of the ambulances so you don't have to park in gravel or grass

More gas pumps with working credit card machines

Beer taps

I think you can buy liquor at gad stations in wv....so why not at the pumps....when track is cold of course

More downhill, less uphill would help with speed in the Miata.

Big garage, like Watkins Glen or Thunderbolt would be nice.
Paving the area near pit lane would be great.
Fewer deer - yes please.
What about some areas with carport style overhead cover? Open on sides, but easy to pull a car under. Could be the budget-garage-ette that fits here?
