Default Went to Fontana last night.. The new resurfaced track is great..

I got this straight from the California Speedway website:
"Construction began last week on lengthening the concrete launch pad from 100 feet to 330 feet. In addition, the concrete will be "shot blasted" to improve traction."


I must say, the track has definately improved.
My 60fts got alot better.
Before the construction, I was only able to get a best 60ft of 1.95, but last night I was able to pull consistent 1.83s....

Pretty good 60fts for 22x8x15 MT slicks eh..

Is it street legal? because my hatch is a track car that will have lexan windows, front clip and no interior or insurance. fontana would be a lot closer than driving to LACR from LA.
