That's the same link from the first post, but they have a bunch more pictures up now....looks good.
They poured fresh concrete for the burnout boxes, but it looks like they didn't connect that with the new concrete for the rest of the the track.

I might guess cost is a major reason. Concrete just about adds a zero to the cost of a driverway compared to pavement.

i wouldn't be surprised if they went the rest of the way down the track next winter. they have been making their upgrades in logical steps and i would see that as one of the next steps.

Plus would all concrete add expansion joints too? Wouldn't that be bad? Are other tracks all concrete? Although Dover is for the roundy round boys.

I was just thinking the same thing,dont they need expansion joints, and if so, would you feel it goign down the track? I know goign down Highways of concrete you can feel it and hear it, the nagain, my suspensions pretty stiff so....

if they made them going long ways you'd never feel it, and sense the joints are typically only on 1 side they could be on the under side of the pad

well the thing about concrete is its not elastic like asphalt, it needs it on all 4 corners. in the indusrty there is a length, to width cut for them, but yeah that is the downside of concrete, but the epoxies they set in the joints im sure are borught up and smoothened out, and they wont have any problems with it.

umm ... ok. You went a little overboard on the special.
I was thinking a little more like Heath Ledger & Jake Gyllenhaal in "Brokeback Moutain" special.

been out of that trade for a while, if i remember correctly, there are different kinds of joints for concrete. theres expansion joint that you can put in between, i think theres some kind of metal u can put in between, and you can also run a cutsaw across to make the joints. (control joint, cold joint, etc) control joints keep the cracks from spreading i think. haha . I dunno how it works for a drag strip though. i need to get some VHT from summit so i can prep one end of my driveway and practice my launches
