Bandit Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Does anybody know if Sat practice is still on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck99 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I heard this past Friday that the practice for the 20th is still on. However, I'm sure that could change depending on how the construction progresses this week. Chase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ1796 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 my question is, if they just laid down new asphalt, doesnt it need some time to cure before being run on. Just Curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck99 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 The pavement does need to cure after it's put down. The number previously mentioned was 4 days. I'm sure they've got to wait for the ground to dry before they pave, and then allow for the cure time. cs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregGurley Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hey Nick, Do you have any details on the track construction and the status of the practice for Saturday? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I certainly wish I had answers for everyone, but I don't. It all depends on the weather. They were about to put the pavement down last week when the weather hit and it's been too wet ever since. At this point, the Saturday practice (March 20th) is still on, but you should keep checking in for any updates. I know everyone needs the track time and I'm sure Brian and the construction crew are doing everything possible, but the last thing we need is to put the pavement down over a soft base and have the whole thing come apart during a race. Sorry that I can't be more informative. Nick Holt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckLicata Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I certainly wish I had answers for everyone, but I don't. Geez, Nick, why are you at THR if you can't provide some simple answers? But you're right, Brian and the construction crew are at the mercy of Mother Nature. I talk to Brian just about every day and I can't tell you the frustration he and the crew feel with the goofy weather we've been having (they said on the news tonight that we're 5 inches AHEAD of normal rain fall - gee, like we needed it NOW!) Keep your fingers crossed, gang...we'll get there! (notice the sunglasses--that's an effort to bring out the SUN!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregGurley Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I think that everyone is excited about the new season and the new track. The main thing is to wait it out and do the job right. It looks like we may have 7 days of dry weather this week. Hope the forecast is right this time. Hang in there Brian. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
