I've been hearing about this repave and I just can't understand how they are going to repave and be driving on it within a week. Most of the time when I've heard or read about track repaves they give it several weeks or so to cure.

There was a PCA event on Main this weekend so they start repaving on Monday and will be done by Thursday? Didn't RA's repave take a month or 2?

I really can't see them repaving the whole track and it being ready 5 days after they start. If there is pavement, it's not gonna last long.

It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Indeed, one of the SP higher-ups confirmed the rumor in person less than 48 hours ago.

Can pavement be setup in such a short timeframe or is it going to start chunking.
Two feet.

I could be wrong, but they repave city and public roads in a matter of a few hours usually and people are driving on them the same day? How is this different?

-Stickier tires
-2x the speed -Closer to traction limit

racecars exert significant lateral force on pavement. on the street, just about zero.

And even with a few weeks to cure sometimes it still goes wrong (exhibit A: crumbling track at Laguna in 06). I hope it goes well but it seems pretty darned strange to me.
