Preparing for the new frontstretch wall


The track surface


This is one of the reasons why new drainage is needed.


The new concrete block for the frontstretch wall.


New Pack Truck... (actually these are trucks delivering rock from the stone quarry)

That new wall will be awfully nice. Did they knock down some of the banking degree?

No, the banking is the same as before.

Hope they got some good drainage down in 1-2.

Can't say its for lack of effort

It really is the whole front straightaway starting in 4 and into turn 1. They have almost always had problems with turn 1 cause thats where water ends up at.
All the rain collects in the ditch behind the front straightaway that runs down that huge concrete Grandstands It's gotta go somewhere. Now that bill provided the pic everyone can see it seep onto the track!

The main thing is that when Spiker gets it finished each person should come out and Thank Joe Spiker Personally cause he has basically Built a new race track and that was not cheap and he did it for all of us drivers and fans!

Thank You Spiker and crew!

I love seeing a track owner/promoter making a long term investment in the property.

If they haven't removed the equipment, I wonder if there's a chance of removing some of the mound of dirt that had accumulated over the guardrail between the rail and the fence. It does interfere with the view on the front straight. Especially if they don't get a chance to mow it. Even if it is. Its built up about two or three feet over the years.

Just asking

Thanks
Chuck
