I'm sure the answer to this is yes but please tell me the asphalt is better than the Homestead parking lot we ran the nats on years ago? It was a great race and I had a lot of fun but that thing was the worlds biggest tire truer.

I am sure they have fixed it by now. From the pictures, it looks like a permenent track now. Back then, it was set up in the parking lot where they ran go karts.
Should be a great time!

Yeah, two people in my 20 minute main changed tires. I started with straight out of the pack, full sized tires and went the distance. I had 5 min of tire left so 25 was as far as I could have gone.

I do not think it will be repaved, just sealed and maintained. Although I could be wrong. I am sure more info will come out as time goes along.

Yes please not in summer. The nats were there in December and except for one brief rain shower, the weather was beautiful.
