Summit Point in Aug

From another forum comes this good news:

Jason, I spoke with the track manager on Sat. and he stated that repave was slated for today (Monday). He also gave me some insight as to what was done and what is going to be done. He said the repave was done with a non-polishing asphalt (no wear) but contained a large aggregate. The larger aggregate was pulled out leaving large voids and causing the rapid deteriation of some of the corners. The repair is going to involve cutting down of bad spots (turns 1,5 & 6)and repaved. This time they will use a runway grade asphalt. Actually its coming from the job at Eastern Regional in Martinsburg, the runway is being extended for the giant C-5's the guard just got. Anyway, he said this mix is a polymer base with a smaller aggregate. He also stated that the quicker it cools the harder it is and the faster it cures. So his intention is to have a couple guys water it down all night. This should survive better, but is a "polishing" surface which means it will wear down, but smooth and not in chunks as it did this time.

Now this is what I was told but cannot verify any of the asphalt type info at this time. I work with Larry on track projects, as I do the building inspections, and believe he speaks the truth. We shall see.
