Title: HPT ?s
Post by: GrecianFormula40 on June 13, 2006, 04:04:36 PM
Anyone know how late the gate will be open on Thursday night for late arrival? Will wristbands be available from the Guard?
Thanks in advance.

...anyone know if they are doing anything about the icy sealer strips?  They are pretty sketchy in the mornings...

Ive got another gate entry question. We plan on being there friday for the team challenge and maybe sat. Do we still have to pay 35 dollars for the gate fee even if we leave friday night.

I would think with the whole track repaved there should not be any strips to worry about.

sad but true......

a track paved less than a year ago that has tar strips that can be slippery.  With temps forecast for the mid to upper 90's it should be interesting to see  how much of the slipperyness is gone.

It has the sealer like Barber has, but they are super slick in the mornings (had two buddys crash almost straight up and down).  Otherwise its very nice!  Talked to guys that were there today and they said they seemed to be better.  HPT is working hard to make it a nice place!
