Quote from: kramie13 on Today at 01:13:12 PMBoth sequential and mileage-based exits in theory work great. Real road layouts - with concurrences, TOTSOs, later changes to roads layout... Well, looks like someone at FHWA got a great solution in search of at least a small problem.Quote from: jmacswimmer on Today at 12:04:58 PMI also find it interesting that exits 1A-B westbound just after the Sagamore Bridge survived the conversion - are they considered to be based off MA 3's mileage as it begins? It leaves a 55-to-1 jump similar to the Capital Beltway jump mentioned upthread.
Yes, the exits just north of the Sagamore Bridge are now based off MA 3's mile markers. But leaving the Cape, you're still on US 6 when you pass Exit 1A. Exit 1B is MA 3 exiting itself! The "loop ramp" to stay on US 6 west is unnumbered!
Even more weird, if you "continue straight" in both directions, you are "taking" exit 1B, which makes no sense whatsoever!

That proves the point. When NASCAR was properly run, every race mattered, and every point, and thus every position, mattered. 100% mattered.
Today? Who wins a race matters very little. All that matters is making the idiotic chase, which is fairly easy to do, and then just sandbag along until it starts and then take your chance. Who finishes best among 4 randomly determined drivers in a single race among all the other drivers, is just random. In no way the same as winning a real championship based on a season of accomplishment.
And, BTW, the idiotic chase this year is sponsored by Power Ball. Which is marketing genius. A random drawing for a random "champion".

The first segment was the Nevada segment between north of Las Vegas and the Arizona state line.
The second logical segment would be once US-93 is upgraded between I-40 and the Nevada state line.
