And "GREEN" track....it's not only NEW but ALL CONCRETE ! Just like the Motorplex....with it's NARROW GROOVE !!
If a track has a narrow groove, it is due to how the track is prepped, not the composition of the racing surface.

There are several all-concrete race tracks around here, including the aforementioned Piedmont Dragway, Farmington Dragway, and Roxboro Dragway, all of which have been redone in the last couple years. All have fantastic surfaces, and to my knowledge were good right out of the box, and that's even without having the national event crew and equipment there.

There are a bunch of people who are happy to have a new national event facility in the neighborhood, and there's ONE dude on a message board proclaiming that no one's ever heard of the track and no one will go, yet there will be traffic problems, and it will be a narrow-grooved death trap. Are you for real???

Instead of trying to generate fictional problems, why not turn the energy into learning more about the facility and its sanctioning body, and find out how you can help.
