I did hear someone say there is a lot of silt coming off the new surface which piles up in the outside lane by the fence......so if you get up there it's bye bye.

BIFFLE is not impressed with the tars. Says they are like "black ice'...can't drive like this.

This doesn't look good for Goodyear and the fresh track.
