Will Bristol be ready July 6-8 ? (1 Viewer)

[flash]

With the time it takes to tear up concrete and replace it, then get some races on the new surface to make sure it's OK, what are the odds that it will be ready for July 6-8?

Reinhard, I am thinking right along with you. Less than 60 days to get a reliable contractor in, tear up 700 feet of concrete, put down 700 feet of new concrete and have it cure in time. I think they are rushing this. Since they have to move this race date anyway, make it the weekend of October 12th, 13th, 14th. That way they have plenty of time to get the job done right, your not in prime time vacation time for most families and the racers don't have 6 races in a row. Just my thoughts!

Can't move it to October - the Countdown...

It will be ready, money talks and Bruton has lots of it. This was an unforeseen mishap. You can bet that they have egg on their face right now and will not let the same thing happen twice.

I say call Jim Head this is right in his line of work.

I'm no expert on road construction/concrete, but if the powers that be are dead-set on having this done in time I'd advise them to remember these 2 words from earlier this year: San Antonio

Who wants to see the 1st ever NHRA 1/8th mile race?

Maybe it's just my sour grapes because now the IHRA national in my town WILL conflict with an NHRA national...

I haven't read the announcement yet but I thought they had already replaced it and just need it to cure longer due to the weather!?!?

Bristol couldn't run the event as 1/8th mile. At San Antonio the surface trouble was at the big end while this is an issue at the starting line end.
