This may or may not be done by Kool April Nites. Apparently the concrete needs almost 30 days to properly cure.<br /><br />Stadium lighting down the entire strip. The owner got all the old lighting from Volunty Park in Anderson, CA and will be putting it in.<br /><br />Moving the Announcment stand to the other side and also putting some of the bleachers on the other side so you don't stare at the sun all evening.<br /><br />More seating too. I think he was going to work on some shade for the bleachers too but I'm not sure.<br /><br />So it looks like the first 200' of the strip, including the staging area, is going to be replaced, which hopefully will give it some great racing.<br /><br />Just thought I would update you guys. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>2stangs69-91</b> <br /><small>Member # 1951</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,1,12,1,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> sweet I hope he can get it all done in time for the races.
