  1. 1 – there is no reason they can’t put 2” of 0.5 super pave on them with a stronger PG
    2 – the primary problem with asphalt is 2 issues, color and abrasive consistency. if they would’ve colored the concrete dark and did micro milling in the bottom and acid washed the middle and top, it’d actually be better than asphalt.

    the great part of concrete is you can change the surface and not significantly impact the structural integrity of the section.

  2. All sports have gotten serious about recovery, Peter McNabb was one of my favorite Bruins players and he talks about the keg they always had in the locker room after games. Now a days the players start recovery before they've even taken their skates off.

  4. Don't give to shakes about Nascar any more , ever since the COT came into the picture , Nascar slowly put a strangle hold on racing . Teams can't do anything anymore , Nascar controls it all ! Stage racing has KILLED the sport , viewer ship is down , stands are half empty , it's dying , let it GO !!

  5. The first time I went to Bristol it was an pavement track and had concrete bleachers. It's my home track and I so wanted to see Dale and the 3 team win and Dale broke the cam on the second lap. I was so bummed

  6. Of course the main reason was not just the asphalt was tearing up, it was crappy modern concrete. New asphalt doesn't last near as long as the original old school asphalt of yesteryear. The real question is why?

  7. Just thinking out loud here: They had a magical place called Bristol. Then they messed it up by changing it to concrete. They have paved over the concrete with dirt. Why not throw a layer of asphalt over top the concrete and see what magic happens? Who's with me?
