Chuck, I'm certainly not trying to create any issues or drama here but I'm not sure what to think. Dave Smith called me today in response to an email I sent looking for info. Among other things he told me that the concrete work is basically on hold due to issues with obtaining approval from the county. It didn't sound like the concrete work would be happening anytime soon. Can you or anybody else provide any clarification? I doubt I can make it to VM but I do want to hit a Test & Tune night in the next couple of weeks. Asphalt or concrete, I'd at least like to know if they are going to be fully up & running when I go. Thanks.

This will serve as a good practice session for Convention in Medford.

Hi Les - Yes I have an update. The track is marked and ready for the upgrade. The bad news - It will not happen in time for VM37; The good news is the track is now maintained by Paul Brander and crew; The best news is Paul, myself and his crew will be scapping down the track Thursday and putting down our first coat VP that night; more VP will be
spread on Saturday and again early Sunday morning and throughout the event as needed.

At least I know the track won't be torn up when I get there in 2 days. Hopefully it'll still be a little sticky from the last event.

It's just a Test & Tune session, not a racing event. It's a much smaller crowd. I just want to make sure I can get enough runs to get in one solid one and know what my car can run. Sometimes you don't get many runs in at the Weds. night events.

Last week at ALMS we were asked if drivers could use Snell 2000 helmets. Unfortunately, Snell 2000 are not allowed. Only Snell 2005 and 2010 helmets will be approved for drag racing on Sunday.
Please don't shoot the messenger as these are NHRA rules not mine nor the tracks.
