As we are all ready for Spring to arrive, the excitement for a new season is building. Today marked the first day of move-in to the Speedway Office! Track walls have been stripped down to the 1985 paint scheme. The Grandstands, pavement and walkways have been pressure washed to the max, all ready for that new color design. The PA, new Whelen lights, and scoring system are all functional. A complete face lift to the Race Office looks great. The VIP Box and Officials Booth are under renovation. New storage and containers for the pit area should be arriving shortly. Under the Grandstands work is continuing to clean and repair the Souvenir stand, the restrooms and storage areas. While we are 5 months behind our projected move-in date, we are making the best of the time we have had, much to do with a great volunteer effort from many people on Saturdays. Once weather conditions improve for a solid week, we will make the most of it!
Our full time staff has made great strides along with the racing community volunteers---THANK YOU!
Hoosier tires will be available for the SLM and Street Stocks at first practice. Mini Stocks will continue with the Good Year tires for the interim. We are close to a deal with Hoosier for an 8" bias tire for the SF8 class. The new tire will be priced about $20-$25 more than the Nu Treads. More than one tire option will be made available. A recap tire from the South is also being explored. I know time is short. Hope to finalize within 48 hours. Hornet and Stinger 8 tires updates within the same time frame.
