[HOF#13]

From jayski's site:

"Bruton Smith say changes will be made at Bristol: After more than a week of studying requested fan input, Bruton Smith, Chairman and CEO of Speedway Motorsports, announced he has ordered the go-ahead to make changes to the track surface at Bristol Motor Speedway. "The race fans have spoken," Smith said. "We had input that included a wide range of opinions. But the majority we heard from said they wanted to see changes made. As a result, I have ordered the equipment and work will begin within the next two weeks to allow time to have everything ready for August." Smith said an announcement regarding the scope of the work will be made soon. "The question we wanted to answer as quickly as possible was 'Is something going to be done?' Smith said. "The answer to that is 'yes.' We will have the details in two weeks as to what that 'something' is.(BMS)(3-28-2012)"

It will be ineteresting to see what they are going to do exactly.

My guess is they will do away with the graduated banking.

That's the only way to fix it.

I kind of like that you can have more than one racing groove, but I really wish they would use a much softer tire that gives up quicker. That would make things a bit more interesting I think.

I agree though...I think they will be taking out the double banking.

I think your right Jason a softer tire that gives out quicker would sure help the racing.

Bruton must have lots of disposalbe money....lol

Yea....He also saw that about half of the seats for the race were empty, and he figures the quality of racing was to blame. Needs to get those seats filled to make more cash! It will be interesting to see how the new surface is, as there are no guarantees that it will make for the old style racing.
