Lighting a race track!

[weressl]

Has anyone here had experience with lighting a circle track?
We have been hired to redo the electrical at a local 1/2 mile
dirt track.The place is currently in pretty sad shape and basically
nothing there is salvagable.I've looked at some of the sites that
specialize in this type of lighting and know there is some apparently
high end stuff.We are looking at possibly 35' utility poles with a crossarm
and multiple lights.What would be some other thoughts.
Thanks, Ed

Glare is the biggest problem there is. The best solution is high mast (65-100') with downlights placed on the inside of the circle. Of course it is more costly, but the issue is safety and for the spectators to be able to have the best possible lighting.
