The track was only repaved through turns three and four. Helberg's quick lap was about a full second slower than Gerster's track record at 13.5 seconds. I would say that that had more to do with the frigid temperatures more than the new pavement did.
Most importantly, the new pavement produced side-by-side racing through turns three and four that I have never really seen there before. Cars could get a run going into three, run side-by-side through the entire corner, and complete the pass. It was a great investment with the repaving because it produced an entertaining race. Heck, the stock cars put on a spectacular race too!
