Tim, assuming that paving is simpler and can be done quicker than the concrete pouring, I suppose you've considered the possibility of proceeding with the paving ahead of the concrete work for the dragstrip? Would that allow our races to go ahead even if the dragstrip wasn't ready?

While it may seem that simple, it's not.  The concrete pads on the drag strip must be poured and allowed to cure prior to paving over top of them.  The new pavement on the front straight runs past turn 9 and so the pavement must be placed at the same time to ensure a smooth transition.  In addition, the paving crew mobilizes and completes the run in one mobilization.

As I mentioned, everyone working on this has exhausted every possible alternative in an effort to prevent any cancellations.  We are at the mercy of the weather.

Doug,
Sorry for not responding sooner. I have resigned as Track Operations Chairman. Ray Stec has taken over my position for 2014. He has the most up to date info for the membership.
Thanks,
Tim

paving update - Right hand lane of the drag strip has been poured. The forming and rebar installation should be done for the left-hand lane and we are now waiting for a weather window to complete the concrete work. There is then a 10 day cure time before the asphalt can be laid. Again this is weather dependent.

I heard a rumour that the Car Club is not happy with the concrete work and another delay is possible. Can you provide an update, Ray?

There may be some further delay. The concrete and paving are very weather dependent. With this stretch of wet and dry days it is impossible to do anything. We need some good weather windows. The Custom car club has committed to getting the road course up and running as soon as possible.

Here is the Update on Track Repairs. The second Concrete Pad should be poured on Wed of this Week. Final Grading for the Pavement will begin the week of the 14th and Pavement should be in Place the week of the 21st. If the seven day core test Mpa level is high enough they may try and pave right before the long weekend.

Do not know where you received your incorrect . information on the Concrete. Have you reviewed all the cylinder Test Results for Strutural Strength? There were some finishing issues that are currently being dealt with by the Contractor and the repairs will not interfere with the operations of the Road Course. The Paving of the Drag Strip and turn 8 & 9 are scheduled to be paved on Monday and the Road Course should be ready by the weekend if there are no issues.

I'm planning on being there Thursday; the surface will be OK for forklifts by then I assume.
When will it be 'driveable'?
Will the Superbike school be able to use it on May 9th, WMRC on 10-11th?
