Perhaps this is a good time to ask: why not have Nationals on asphalt? Points for asphalt: 1) It is easier on tires -- less expense. 2) It is easier on the cars -- less expense and less likelihood o

I wonder about the future of Topeka as the Nationals site. It struck me as way too rough and brittle for the BIG SHOW. The South course had to be modified significantly during one of the days to avoi

Not necessarily. Depends on the type of asphalt. I've seen quite a few asphalt-paved sites that are incredibly hard on tires. Asphalt-gravel composite pavement has this potential, depending on the ki

I wasn't there but the pictures I saw had tons of concrete debris near the course. That indicates to me that the surface on course must have had numerous irregularities. The kind that get me nervous

My vote would be one course on concrete, and one on asphalt... Best of both worlds. Phil O. have Nationals on asphalt. But it won't necessarily be safer or easier on tires. Jay <

I'm not sure that it is -- I think the concrete surface is dictated by the available site choices. If you're trying to set up a week-long event for 1000 people including camping and two courses, wher

It's a very thin skimcoat of asphalt over concrete. The MTAA will not allow us to use it as a course area. Mark

The change was enough to make a first gear turn into a second gear turn for some cars -like Turbo Supras, for example :-). The course change didn't affect the results, but it will have an impact on c

If this year's Nationals courses were any indication (and I expect that they were), the tendency is for there to be one really fast "power" course and one fairly twisty "handling" course. (no, I'm no
