Trucks running as I post. All the talk has been about the new track. Brand new concrete; I believe the steepened some of the banking, altered the turns and widened to from 40 to 43 feet.
Temp here at 7 this evening was 96 and it's not supposed to cool off. We have been cooling into the upper 70 by 9 or 10 and into the upper sixties by sunup.
The good news is the concrete assumes the same temp as the air, unlike asphalt, so conditions ought to be good for the drivers.
Thanks for hosting grok! Can't wait.
$8K to lead lap 80.....
I’ll leave it in your capable hands to pull some local strings to get this weather thing straight before Saturday night.
