It's been a busy two weeks at the track. Guardrail at the front
stretch is gone. It's been replaced with a ditch, a drainage tile
from the entry of turn 4 all the way past turn one, that has been
backfilled with stone, and a new wall constructed on top of that. We
have also started laying drainage tile in the pits. A tile has been
installed from the north end of the pits, along the pit side of the
main drive, to an existing manhole at the pit gate. Tiles will be
extended from this main tile and head into the pits back to Sprint
Row. The dirt was removed from the track, spread over the infield
and turned several times to allow it to dry. The dirt was then
placed back onto the track. Then non-stop with the sheepsfoot
roller.

We've been busy with our real jobs, but it's time to think
racing!

Update 5/11/2010
We have been working on the back stretch catch fence and getting ready to put up more sponsor signs. Thanks to all our sponsors for your support!
Update 4/2/2010
Our track crew has been working hard to get the track into shape. The tractor pulling the dual sheepsfoot rollers has already turned enough laps to be leading the points race! The grader isn't far behind. And another big LPS thanks goes out to Ray McCloud and his crew at McCloud Electric in Roachdale, IN for their hard work and late nights.
We have been working hard to improve the main Concession
Stand, Novelty Booth and Beer Shack.
New fences, a new Beer Garden and improved electrical service and
lighting are all waiting for opening day!
The scales have also been disassembled, dug out, cleaned, reassembled, and an electronic indicator has replaced the old weigh beam. We will be able to weigh cars again!
We have also been working on the track itself. Lincoln Park Stone has been providing us with truckloads of clay that we have been working into the track.
