Mid Ohio MA Again?

Or Pitt told them to take a hike.

 

Maybe PittRace takes the Ridge date???

 

I doubt it, unless MA wanted a whole bunch more money or something.

The owners there put forth a ton of effort to make sure the event went well, they were repaving sections and repainting curbs every year a week or two before the event to make sure it was fresh.

 

bad news is turn1 where they did the test-pavement section is already cracking pretty good, and it's only been a year? it's grippy and smooth, hope it holds up.

I was going to tell them they sure as heck better use that PG 88-22 binder for this project. Everyone knows that's the good stuff.

But that picture brings a tear to my eye. I'll sure miss that dip in the exit of the carousel. What are the chances they put that back in during this repave. One can only hope

 

I'm with you, that dip was always kind of fun. I cannot wait to go back. Looks like VMD is on the schedule again! Swore off Mid O after watching so much senseless carnage but now i have to make good on my promise to return if repaved.

 

Late to the conversation...
I love Mid-Ohio and want to see MA there again.
BUT Mid-Ohio pavement was uniquely slippery when wet. MA decided they had to have tracks that could be run rain or shine so they can keep promises to the advertisers. MA dropped all the tracks that could not safely race when wet.
SO this new re-pave should qualify them for MA again. The fan attendance at Mid-Ohio is huge!!!!
If the rumor was true Mid-Ohio used some special pavement to help surface hold up better for indy cars. Go back to normal pavement and they should be fine.
