Night racing at NHIS/repaveing

Night racing at NHIS? It is not out of the realm of possibility, especially with NHIS set to make a major announcement with Sylvania Thursday, reportedly on a multiyear agreement. The speculation is that Sylvania will come aboard as a major event sponsor, but with NASCAR looking to air more races on prime-time television, it would seem to make sense for NHIS officials to hammer out a quid pro quo deal with Sylvania to outfit the track with lights. One of the track improvements Bahre expects to make this season is to resurface Turns 3 and 4, which have long been a source of frustration for drivers and track officials. "We'll do it the first of April," said Bahre, who reported that the Loudon track was blanketed by about 2 feet of snow. "We'll let it cure for about four months before the first race in July. It should be enough time." Last year, Bahre expanded the racing groove of his track and resurfaced it, but problems arose shortly after a Busch Series race in May.(Thatsracin.com)(1-26-2003
 
Trying to dodge flying chunks of asphalt in the dark...sign ME up. :rolleyes:
 
LOL yeh no kidding! Still think the entire configuration of the corners need to be changed just like Homestead.
 
Sounds like a cool idea if they can get the track to where it was for the Busch race that Hamilton won last year.
 
here's a thought!
why don't they just bulldoze the track down a start all over again?
and maybe build a dirt track in it's place.
 
I agree with the concept, but NHIS still needs to lose a race and give it to KY or TN.
 
They are going to grind out both turns 1 and 2 as well as turns 3 and 4 and repave them this spring. This way both ends will be the same.
I believe they use the same asphalt mix which Atlanta was repaved with a few years back. Some special stuff imported from Trinadad.
I think I'll wait for the press conference before I start thinking night racing. There is a curfew on the track imposed by the town of Loudon.
 
lol.I lie both tracks but Nashville is better. Concrete, Lights and not the normal track configuration.
