expensive. Only one reason, really. The available BIG lots -- i.e. airport aprons -- are concrete. We did not go looking for concrete, we went looking for size, and the size we found happened to be

Is it possible to have an asphalt surface durable to support Nationals? I know there are a lot of asphalt race tracks out there so I would assume it is, but tight, low-speed turns, with so many cars

This is only a guess but it's based on simple physics. Auto-x is not nearly as hard on asphalt as big trucks at an intersection. Those things generate huge forces when starting up and when stopping.

You bet. it is, Makes sense. Where is the evidence that low-speed turns are more destructive to pavement than high-speed turns? I contend that the high-speed turns on a race track lead a tougher lif

When we run on asphalt surfaces where surface damage occurs, it occurs on the lower speed, tighter turns, not on the higher speed turns. KeS /// autox@autox.team.net mailing list /// /// To unsubscri

I would imagine asphalt parking lots are not be constructed the same as a race track, thinner and not compacted as much I'm guessing. Plus the point where we usually get breakup in a parking lot is w

Bingo, Rocky. If you were to build a dedicated autocross facility, you would be better off using full-depth bituminous than you would be using concrete. Cheaper, easier to maintain, recyclable on-si

It doesn't really matter, does it? The issue arose from the question of how much damage autocrossing does to an asphalt surface, and if that damage is more likely in tighter autocross turns than high
