Turn 1 / 2 Update???

[senecak19]

Anyone close enough to take photos and post progress? Just curious.

[a13x]

It's all paved. No more grass in the T1-2 infield.

[senecak19]

I guess that's good since its progress. What about the actual track... that paved too?

[Doc]

It is for the Big Nascrap RV's

Uh... the track goes thru the infield. If the infield is now all paved.... then where we will be riding motorcycles is... PAVED!

[Kurlon]

So, are there still grass areas for us tenters, or did they pave the entire fricken inside of the oval?

Anyone got pics?

Sprint Cup comes up there the 28th, so I figure they are going to have the track very ready very soon. With practice/qualifying and everything else the track will need to be ready to go by the 23rd, 24th at the latest i'm betting.

I don't watch a lot of NASCAR but I'm sure those two races bring most of that track's income for the season.

I'm working the Penguin School, Loudon Classic and USCRA for the next ten days. I'm expecting to be at the track tomorrow afternoon. If possible, I'll snap some photos and try to post them and get a general idea of what is done. I haven't been bothering Wanda for the official skinny on this because I'm pretty sure they're going to be working like a MoFo during the 5 day shutdown, and even what's done today won't give an accurate idea on the progress.

[Rambunctous]

Is new pavement require "curing" time? Is new pavement oily? Anybody know about this stuff?

Heres to hoping we need to run the chicanes again!

If we have the option for a "real" turn 1-2, I'm hoping for it. The chicanes may be super fun on a motard, but piling 25 600s in there for the dash was a bit hairy to say the least.

Plus I didn't feel comfortable in them until sunday afternoon......

Just means youll start out comfortable!

I didn't mind the chicanes because people used their head. I had a lot of fun with them actually. The classic weekend is full of energy and I don't think it would be the case a 2nd time around.

In addition, we finally got a National series back to the track and I really would have a tough time believing that ASRA would ever come back if they had to run those chicanes.

Guess we will know soon enough what the condition of the track is. (=

Not everyone used their heads...

LOL! Loved that game!

I assume the Boston Moto track day will have the chicanes next week?

[a13x]

Why are people talking about the chicanes still?

[legalspeed]

I'll be there this afternoon, with a camera.

[Pittenger5]

Why are people talking about the chicanes still?

Cause they were so dangerous that we are all still affected by them. Hell, just rolling out of bed this morning I damn near blew the second chicane and ended up in the wall.



And I liked them a lot and wish they were permanent.

I told you your body position was all wrong. Climb up on the pillow more to keep the front...

Stopping now.

You Kinda Wimped out On the Taxi Cab Chicanes Saturday Night.

Well you turned that curb into a nice chicane yourself.

Nope - we will be on the fresh pavement!
