Sounds like they are serious about WSBK coming in the future!

That would be great.  I love going to the races/racing at RA.  But I think they will still need Garages.

I thought it was to make racing safer for CCS. Maybe they will install pavement warmers in the track so we can race year round. Seriously though does anyone see a trend here? With the addition of new tracks and repairs to several others it seems like there might be a future in racing.

Right.  Wait until the organizers of track days and racing organizations get the bill.

With the price of petroleum oil going up, the cost of asphalt is too.

Looks like Heartland Park hit it right before everything went out of control.

Half empty?  LOL!

HPT is paved.  Done, right...

BFR had to raise it's rates with the new pavement.  And the insurance rates went up with the insurance companies loosing a whole lot of money in the stock market when they were warned many times to be careful.  Insurance rates have been on a real skyward reach for some time.  There are a few out there that recognized reality.
