Bristol repaving
Here's a cool pic of the progress of the repaving from Bristol,pretty far along if you ask me,I have tickets to the fall race and certainly hope the racing is better after they are done that it has been lately there.

Won't take'em too long to pour it all. What NASCAR needs to do for the night race is to make everyone run the middle groove or high groove in practice to work a 2nd line in. They did that at Richmond the first race after repaving it a couple of years ago and the 2nd groove was there by lap 200.

They will just get a big ol' laser screed up there and put down an easy 400 yards a day. Once they start laying the concrete, won't take them but a month to finish it if the weather is good thru-out. Then got to redo the walls and your all set. What they should put in is that new concrete, Pervious Concrete. Allows water to pass right thru it and keeps the track completely dry. Won't have to use jet blowers on it. It can take up to 288 inches of rain per hour and is being used at some truck terminals now to see how it holds up. One has been in place for 7 years without a problem. They would only have to stop the race because the drivers can't see out the windshield's.

I think that was more of an idea from the people that were gonna build that track near Pittsburgh,never liked the idea anyway.The banking at Bristol is taking shape,you can actually see the way it concaves(?) in the middle,should be damn interesting.
