Update.. Jan. 5th 2014

We were at their lunch Sunday and got good first hand info..

Saw the track with my own peepers..

Anyway, they WILL be finished with the concrete Tues. Jan 7th.

The guys doing this are not amateurs in the concrete business.. Baker Construction has done 8 NHRA National tracks.
The man in charge of this construction said the track will be ready by the 25th of Jan. (Summit ET Series) "IF" there is no cold rain storm in the next couple weeks.

Anyway, we will be there racing Feb. 1st and Feb. 8th "IF" the weather cooperates. (Arizona S/ST)

Hopefully some rubber will be put down on the 24th& 25th of Jan.

Other notes.. A new PA system is being installed ($85,000.00) and will be able to be heard even out by the lake.. Al Alguire..

The Concrete has cost over $375,000.00 thus far.. It is over 12" thick with rebar and will stop just past the 660' mark.. (About 700')

The crap that was removed was only about 5" thick and NO rebar..

There is a new digital scale, and it works.. Our Dodge Dually weighs about 7027# with 2 passengers.. lol (They said we could drive on it)

New scoreboards will be put in shortly with the numbers 4' tall. Green in color I think they said.. And to the .0001..

Also...... SUNOCO will be the race fuel sold at the track.

So, it looks like we'll be racing soon..
