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.

I heard TGPR was going to run motorcycles only until late spring early summer than open up for cars. This is hand me down info so I could be way off. I do want to run the new layout at least once, did they repave the part they didn't change??

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.
