I also believe that some of this dirt, is wearing out, just as pavement does, but in this economy, I wouldn't expect any improvement for a good while, or until the "do rights" decide they want another Wal-Wart there, instead of a race track! Bob!
I can remember a time when they drew for "rotation", or just did it every race, but we seem to have lost that choice, might be a "good thing"!
I'd have to say I agree with this.....there are many tracks where I'd like to take the mini-sprint, but the thought of driving 2 to 3 hours knowing I will be spending $100 to $200 on gas before I ever leave the driveway makes heading to these tracks difficult.
We live 15 minutes from L-Burg, we love the facility. It's top notch and run extremely well. We are lucky to have it so close to where we live......that being said, I would have to admit there are many other tracks more suited to the 1000s than the 'Burg. But if I have my choice of the perfect track or the perfect location I am going to pick L'Burg 99 times out of 100.
