The best part is 1320' of concrete...

The issue is the transition to asphalt at the finish line...
When it gets hot the concrete expands and pushes up a hump...
When it gets cold the concrete shrinks and causes a dip...
So they have to shave the hump and fill the dip when weather makes big swings...
Worse for cars with no suspension... (dragsters/altereds and such)
Its been a long time, and when we were going I don't remember it being overly dusty but the place was fairly new at the time...
Memory fades...
But I think I have pictures somewhere with my car with air under the tires...
