Mission Raceway?

[Grant Eldridge]

Progress has been good with the recent better weather. There are updated photos on Facebook showing the new concrete racing surface and asphalt shutdown area that is shared with the road course. My understanding is that finishing touches are being undertaken at this time, then there remain guardrails to move back into place, wiring up the timing equipment and a cleanup from the project. It will be great to see it completed and racing begin! Here's a link to the latest photos, etc.....

Unless it's an announcement from the Mission Raceway website or their official Facebook page then everything else is just rumour and speculation. Neither is helpful nor believable so please avoid any spreading of stories.

The concrete pour took some time due to bad weather and it requires some fine tuning to be the best surface anywhere. The existing concrete is also getting media blasted from the start line to 660'. Washroom, concession, water line, road course and pit improvements are all happening at the same time so everyone needs to be patient.

You didn't Dion and neither did the others. My post was just for information purposes since some of the stories going around are ridiculous. I've even heard the track won't open at all this year which is BS.

New asphalt was put down past the finish line this week and the road race guys will run this Saturday. The entire 1/4 mile will be like new concrete when done then it needs to be dragged and prepped extensively. Going to take time but the racers will love it.
