Default Moroso Update 9-14-08

From under the tower




From the roof of the tower






From about 100 feet past the stripe. The new left wall is up all the way to the end of the track. The right wall framing is starting to be put together.




From about 1200 past the stripe in the shutdown.




From the end of the track. Cap on the left lane wall is for where the road course is coming out of their turn. Right lane wall is beginning.




Return road paved. Just across from the light pole on the right will be the location of the scale.

Yes there is a Ford Power Festival set for Oct 18th & 19th. There will also be the challenge series on the 18th. There is a lot to do but Goerge says that we are still in schedule.

Villian you have a PM

How's the road course coming along? Any pics of that yet? Is the road course expected to be ready the same time the drag strip is?


Thanks

I will get out there and take pics of the road course when they pave it. It is going to be great too. I don't think the plan is for the same time. Maybe a few weeks later. I will be back at the track in a couple of days.

Next up is a roof over the whole 1320ft right???
All jokes aside, I can't wait to see this completed. I remember going there every Friday night during my high school days and having a blast. The cars in the staging lanes would go WAY past the last grandstand.
DeepV, I'm definitely down for a cruise whenever it opens up to re-live the good 'ole days.

No the lanes where not widen. Just concrete from water box to the last turn off. No more transition to worry about.
