The things you get over the e-mail transom. This came from the folks at Daytona International Speedway:
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Aug. 11, 2006) – The IndyCar Series and Daytona International Speedway are in discussions regarding a compatibility test at Daytona International Speedway in September.The potential visit would allow IndyCar Series officials to determine the possibility of Daytona International Speedway to serve as a preseason testing venue.
...
The potential compatibility test could allow series officials to see transitions onto the banking, tire wear/side loads and braking zones while looking for any challenging surface areas on the track.
etc. etc.
Can they put restrictor plates in one of those tiny Indy cars? Otherwise one of them might break the sound barrier.

From what I heard, they are testing the road course not the tri-oval.
