The first time I went toTGPR, nobody told me about the cheese grater pavement. I had a new set of hoosiers and the third out I came in and looked at my left front and nothing but steel belts hanging out. Man was I pissed. The only times I would take my car back there was when I had some old tires to get rid of.

yeah, TGPR is closed to cars for a good bit of 2007, to let the pavement cure. I am guessing they repaved the whole track, I wonder if they did it out of something less than the "cheese grater" pavement. I had a new set of Azenis when we went there, and wore my two front tires half way through their original tread depth in one day. 
I was not real thrilled, but it was a hell of a lot of fun.

One of our guys contacted them about renting the track, and we were told the same thing, track is closed to cars for a while in 2007, and I too want to know if they re-paved the whole track, or just the new part.

As far as the fuel starvation issue--read the thread I started in the aftermarket section. We are working on options. Several are in on this and we are going to get this damn problem fix as inexpensively as possible. Besides I cant track until I do.
