It is in fact true Bandimere is going all concrete this winter. Larry Crispe and his crew have been working countless hours tearing up the old asphalt, installing frech drains, laying rebar, etc etc etc. The concrete will extend around 100-200 ft past the finishline I've been told and new asphalt has been laid following that. The water cooling/heating system under the track I've been told will extend around 80-100 ft and start well behind the starting line. I believe Max Naylor has already done this at his track. Anyway, the surface will be perfected and I'd be willing to bet this will be the best surface on the tour.
