Wasn't the track resurfaced about ten years ago? wouldn't they just repave new tunnel area through 10 to save cost? ( from turn 9 through turn 10 )

Sounds about right. I remember driving the track in the early 90's. The surface sure was challenging! Very hard on suspension/wheels. Single file around the pot holes at turn 5 please! Just reminds me of the CASCAR's coming to the track, and entering turn 5 3 wide!!!
(No it doesn't work unless the outside cars run two wheels on two wheels off!)
