Well I was thinking of hitting the Arizona S/ST association race the 25th but now I think I will sit that one out. I sure hope thy get this done in time and the track has some teeth by the National event. We will be there running it along with the division race which appears to be a single not a double this year?!?

This picture was just taken 15 minutes ago....



So they are getting with the program now. Although it looks like they didn't start removing the track surface until 300' out or so.

Tucson AZ,
Good to see progress. I was starting to wonder if it was going to suffer the same fate as Speedworld. I may have to get up there this season to mix things up a bit. It would be interesting to see how they run things compared to S.I.R.

Nice to see progress. Doesn't concrete have a minimum cure time? Hope it's finished in time.

Al,
It's still a double, just listed as one Divisional, and one Regional, so on different schedules.

The track needs to sit for 30 days for the concrete to cure. Since it is not even poured yet, I'm not sure about and races in January. There is only 1 divisional at Wild Horse Pass this year.

I assumed it was still a double based on the two schedules listing different days, but I realize now they have the regional scheduled on Monday.

Ya, don't see how they are going to make January 18th. They will probably switch it to S.I.R. Happy holidays Raul!

There will be both a divisional race and a regional race the weekend of Feb 28 to Mar 3, pretty much like last year. 2 races in a 4 day span. Last year there were so many entries that we were shorted one TT at one of the events (Don't remember if it was the divisional or regional race).

I just got off the phone with my boss at the track.. He said all the old concrete will be gone by the end of the day. They are still planning to have their first race on 1/18. There is only one divisional. Her will check on what is posted on their website.

I assume it is a double but on the schedule it is only listed as being over a three day span. No way we run two races over three days. I also saw the regional which is the way it has been over the last couple of years. Double divisional with a regional over the Saturday and Sunday. Meant to ask Rice this last Saturday but forgot.

I just drove over to see if the track surface was gone. Yessir it is!

But now thanks to the rain - they can't do anything to it until the water goes away. It's a second lake now.

Wow--that looks like a mess! I would think it will take some time and effort to get the soil compaction back where it should be.

What WHP is showing on their calendar mirrors what was done last year--Divisional qualifying on Thur, Divisional Eliminations on Fri, then Regional qualifying on Sat, and Regional Elims on Sunday. So the true dates look like they are Feb 27 and 28, and Mar 1 and 2.

Just for grins - I just drove over to the track to check on the progress. No concrete yet - but they have been compacting the gravel base. So it should be done soon. I seriously doubt we're going to see anybody make any passes in January - but hopefully SOMEBODY will get down the track before the travelling circus gets there.
