ATTENTION ALL BFR RACERS FOR THIS WEEKEND

[Doctor]

"BFR made immediate repairs yesterday  to turn 1 and 7 as a temporary fix until the week of July 16th when the paving will be completing redone.

We appreciate your patience.

BFR Management."

Damn I just set my suspension up for mogels.

[supercarl]

So what kind of damage was done? and does anyone have pictures of this "temporary fix"?

[bruce71198]

From what I understand the new surface was starting to "erode" . the repair is as good as the track was at the start of the season. A  complete new surface is on the way. I dont think it could be any worse than seasons past ( rumble strips in the center of the track ). Paul, the track owner is a racer himself and has made every effort to provide a suitable racing surface,

Great! Even a month ago, if you werent tight to the inside line, and went through the mogul field.... it was an experience.


Cheers for some new pavement!!

I'm guessing that the "improvements" made during the off-season didn't stand up to the wear and tear from cars using the track, correct?

From what I was understanding, its possible the pavers used street asphault instead of the high strength stuff used for race tracks.

I think thats exactly the case !!

Heat this weekend should make that exciting.  I know Milroy already fell down in T1 earlier today.

Rode there today.......won't be racing tomorrow, due to track conditions.
It's the worst I've ever seen it, but I wasn't here for the WERA round. There's a 12" or so strip that's "good", & if you dare to test the waters outside of that, you're likely to get a ride in the crash truck.


IMO, it's horrible.
But............the conditions are the same for everyone! :D

I take back what I said about the track owner providing a suitable racing surface ! Raced there yesterday, I lacked confidence in 7 and 1. Lap times down considerably !!

Me too, that was scary stuff.

Come on bruce I was 10 seconds off pace with that issue on the ss bike and I still managed to have the front try to tuck on me in T1 yesterday...what issues lol - thankfully they are fully repairing it before the next round and I give the track owner huge kudos for stepping up on that front, it's not an easy thing to turn around in a month I'm sure

Going to have to say it's all you....

I was 8tenths off my best of 14.1 with a lot of 15s.

I set my personal bests this weekend, but I feel like I could've shaved a second off of it had T1 & T7 been in good shape.  Everytime I went over a seem I could feel the bike moving a bit.  Not good to have oil seeping out of the track.  Hope we get a final fix.
