Like, dislikes? It looks like the only viewing is on the straight.
Do they have a bridge or tunnel so you can get in and out of the infield
while a session is running?

There's no infield at Miller, the only people in there are flagmen and
ambulance drivers. There is seating at more than the front straight, but
it's all in the last section of the track, the first seating after the
end of the straight coming right after the attitudes. There's no access
to the fast corners right after the straight, and then there are
embankments over the next section and then into and over the attitudes
where you can hang off the fences. There are, I believe, five covered
granstands, and most or all of them have big screens opposite them on
the other side of the track (not sure about on the front straight). Of
course they may have made more changes since last year.
Me, I like the circuit, in part because it's fast and encourages close
racing, and you can see most or all of the circuit, even if from some
distance. What it doesn't have are enough good passing points, although
the AMA track adds sections we haven't seen before and may well change
that. And you'd better like the sun if you're a circuit walker like me,
'cuz the only shade is in the stands. And you can only get into the one
where you've got your assigned seat, which is my biggest complaint about
how they run the joint.
But, hey, it's a dry heat...
