There's a brick wall at RFR?
Actually the location of the chicane would be a left turn just after the start/finish line, that turns back right and into T1. So you'd be braking from the middle/top of 4th gear for the chicane instead of getting deep into 5th. And the chicane would be away from the pit wall, then back to the esses where there are no walls.
At least that's the discussion I overheard w/ some SCCA people and Jeremy the track operator.
Here's my intrepretation of the chicane's location (in red). I hope they go through with it, as it would make the esses a lot more fun since you'll be accelerating through them instead of just hanging on for dear life at 120+mph.
Also note in that picture how far along they are with the paving of the new section! (Picture was taken yesterday.)
