Bad *** Jason,

Im very impressed at your commitment to keeping up with your facility and making it better. True dedication and it shows and its why people travel thousands of miles to come to your facility for big events. Id love to visit and possibly run my car at your track one of these days and I'm sure that will eventually happen.

- As you can see in this photo the new concrete starting line walls are being formed, and the new “Prep Shed” building in the background is almost completed.

You guys definitely are...

The other day I caught myself thinking "Maybe I should move to the east coast, they've got all the tracks!"

The track itself is unchanged guys. We only took up the center and re-did the walls as you can see in the photo. The left lane and the right lane were not touched, only the center.

MIR is a great facility, and the improvements look nice. Are you guys ever planning on doing any kind of crowd control barrier before the water box. It's a bit out of control at events in that area.
