Turn 1 under the knife

[Fitz]

A friend emailed me the photo this morning. Should be interesting to see what happens in three weeks.

I've done the oval on four wheels and it was pretty neat. I'm not looking forward to running it on two but if it's necessary I will....

No way I'm running the oval w/o 4 layers of airfence.

[a13x]

Whoa crazy. I wonder how the new pavement will feel?

I'll run the oval, but I'm also on a 110mph motard

[lrrs699]

nnnnnnoooooooooo

[bostongixxer]

Wait, what? Is the oval going to be in play later this month??

[Pittenger5]

Nownownow, lets not fall into this trap and spread rumors until either Johnny B or Mike Martire chimes in.

(But I hear all the construction is really for a TRUE super moto event for the classic)

Don't sweat it, we are not running the oval. The work will be done before we get back.

[Doc]

There goes a couple of my markers...

[nmendell]

Don't sweat it, we are not running the oval. The work will be done before we get back.

Mike -- save us from the internets!

Don't sweat it, we are not running the oval. The work will be done before we get back.

Oh come on Mike, I was having fun fanning the flames!

[mmracer37]

Oh come on Mike, I was having fun fanning the flames!

Oh, uh, I mean, yeah, we won't use the banking, but we are going to use the Nascar apron.

But it's gonna be a no passing zone, right?

[mmracer37]

No, it will have dotted lines, so passing will be allowed. However, there will also be signs that say "slower traffic keep right"

[TTD]

hmmm....might have to get creative for trackdays later this month.

Aw jeeze

LOL


When is the scheduled completion date?

[palanon]

Tony, call Bette. She said it would be fixed and ready for you. That was almost two weeks ago though...

[TTD]

No worries... we already have a plan in case it's not done.

[palanon]

The sweet jump for the front straight won't be ready until Saturday's races.

[Hoss]

No worries... we already have a plan in case it's not done.

Care to share?


Come on boys, finish that work up!

[Kurlon]

Care to share?

Have you seen the size of the tubes they're putting in the ground? Maybe even walked up to one, or rolled up to one on a bike...

Just sayin...

[seth399]

personally, I have been waiting for an underground section...its time road courses start becoming progressive, there can be a step up jump out of the tunnel!

[KB]

I heard that we are going to run ON TOP of the airfence.

But there will be power.

A friend emailed me the photo this morning.

I took that picture. Here's a better one. Note the cones laying out the chicanes. Few soft barriers were used because both cars and motorcycles were sharing the track for three days.

Nownownow, lets not fall into this trap and spread rumors until either Johnny B or Mike Martire chimes in.

Fred Neergaard laid into me a bit for misinformation posted on the NEAR List at a meeting last Monday. Seems that somebody who says they talked to both Wanda and Mel still got it wrong on the List.
The deal is that I will be getting emails from Wanda that I can post verbatim to the various forums so that there is no confusion as to what she actually said.
