Darlington could be repaved for 2008:

scary thought

or

a long time coming???


I think that the surface at darlington is a beautiful essence of it's character, but i think that it is getting to the point that it might be too worn... thoughts

I think it needs to be repaved because of the fact that once those tires wear out, it's a bit of a boring race. But if you just repave the banking and leave the apron the way it is, that could be interesting and keep some of its character. Drivers won't like the transition, but whatever.

It was a long time coming. once the track starts coming up, its time to repave it. just like Martinsville a year back

Could be? I thought this had been in the works for a long time.

I don't think it would make that much difference. I believe it was last paved in 1995.

I think the track should be reconfigured to make the banked portion at least 10 feet wider, and I'd be willing to sacrifice a coupple of degrees to make that happen.

It was but everything was put in jeopardy a few years ago because of the lawsuit.

Darlington should be repaved.
If I remember right, a few driver's had their races ruined last year when bits & pieces of the track came up and caved in fenders and knocked off oil belts.

But hopefully when they do repave, they use the same seashell/asphalt mixture like they did last time.
