To each their own.....
He may not like the layout, but that is his own opinion. Heck I didn't like the layout 2 track designs ago. It was the one with the step up double in the infield that launched you towards the drivers stand. I know a few people that hated the layouts with the big double on the back wall. Everyone has the right to have their own opinion. That's what makes this such a great country to live in.
Oldschool will be back. I'm sure he'll try it again and will figure out the track. Sometime it is good to make a change for a little bit. It gives you time to clear your head and have a better outlook on things. I've done it a few times with this hobby and it has worked every time. 20+ years racing and still going...
