I've seen the Facebook pictures but no one will share if it a 100% repave or just certain sections.

 

At any rate, hopefully I will get some time to try out the new car soon!

Yeah, kind of funny. You'd think they'd be open about it but they seem to flat out ignore the question. People are funny.

I can tell from the photos it's only sections being repaved.  If it were the entire track, they would basically do one 'lane' at a time all the way around.    What I've seen is they are doing sections track-wide. 


And just because I'm a shitty driver doesn't make a miata any less slow.

I concur. I'm curious if they are addressing the soil issues that deformed the track in the first place.

Almost certainly not. 

 

I will be interested to hear which parts got a new skin and how much difference it made.

My RSR would basically wheel hop all the way up the hill.

 

I also came into 7 one time and missed the brake pedal completely I was bouncing around so much.  In a panic I pounced the brake pedal and realized I could take the corner deeper :-)

Not exactly how I wanted to learn that.  I don't think those seats ever quite came out clean.
