AH! But there was a huge obstacle in Overdrive! In 2008, there was a wall that divided the field into one large loop to complete laps. This wall was made up of clear polycarbonate panels. The panels created a reflection illusion that made things appear where they were not. As a coach that year, I remember this vividly. After some digging around CD, I found a picture that shows this obstacle. You can see the reflection of the red ball and robot in the wall that caused visibility issues. This is why you saw a lot of drivers that year ducking and leaning behind the drivers wall.
