The black lines at bonneville, to me, are more nostalgic than anything. Like the bricks at indy, or the green monster at Fenway. Does the game change if it isn't there or it changes...not really, but it is what we think of when we go to those venues. I drive a roadster so huggin a line on the course is not much of an option anyway, and my stratagy has always been to pick up the next set of markers and attempt to kick field goals all the way down the course. But I miss the lines. Nothing cooler than being at the starting line an looking at those lines 80 feet apart fading off to a single point miles down the course. but I'm a romantic what can I say.
