R America surface report?

[251am]

 New surface in lots of corners and supposedly switched to new line paint that is non-slip, like "WSBK paint", (not sold in stores.) Anybody know details on this stuff?

[unter_kid]

From what I've heard this is part of their new "3 year plan."  They're expanding the padock, adding garages, moving the Billy Mitchel Bridge and reserfacing select portions of the track.  As I understand it the reserfacing will be one of the last things done.

I'd heard the resurface was already done...

+1, went to RA site and there is no word...


Anyone? Buuuuuueller.........................................

All the corners scheduled for a revamp were done last fall!!

 Does this mean all the track records before the repairs are "as is", forever?

[Ridgeway]

I don't think records are frozen by resurfacing.  If the layout was changed, then maybe.  Like when they added "the bends" in the area previously known as "the kink"

T 3,5,6,8, and Canada Corner have been repaved.

Upper Paddock area has been expanded by cutting into the hill top and filling in area towards Sargento Bridge.   New Med facility and conf room buil just behind restrooms in paddock.

Billy Mitchell Bridge changes do not look promising.  FIM wants a tunnel.

Yes, all the track records will start over because they changed the pit layout, and fixed some cracks in a few turns.

 So, the lap times will be the same? Who makes the decision on when the books start over, anyway?

[Super Dave]

I know some stuff about the asphalt they used.  Might change the lap times.

[Super Dave]

That would be an engineering or contractor problem.  The asphalt they used is pretty interesting.  We'll see how it works, I guess.

Its black and dark and your supposed to be on top of it ?

Was it local contractors? or someone who knows how to setup for a race track ?  

Was it the stuff there were supposed to use at Braindard ?
