Thumbs up The Las Vegas Silver Bowl gets a face lift.

I can finally report that the resurfacing of the asphalt at the Silver Bowl is done. The asphalt compant finished up at 4pm today. I have several pictures of the process from start to finish. I am very happy with the outcome. I can't wait to get the pipes painted and the striping done so we can start testing for traction. I will post more as we get more information.

Yes we will use the same layout with a few minor changes but nothing extreme.

wow! very nice!!

i'm gonna miss those cracks because they were amazing. you can put your finger in it but and it looks terrible when walking around the track but when actually racing on it, it doesn't do anything to your car...

great job rich.... can't wait to go there now
