    Default Pitt Track Surface?

    Does anyone know if the track owners at Pitt have shaved or done other modifications to deal with the big bumps on the original track? Thanks!

    Default PIRC Bumps Fixed?

    I'm wondering about that, also. I heard at M-O that they had not, but hopefully that was incorrect.

    Per PIRC; the north track is scheduled to be repaved in October, 2016. My understanding is they cannot do anything about "the bump" on the back straight of the north track- if they try to shave it, there will be no pavement left.

    Last time I was there I put sponge rubber on the floor of the foot box because my heels were getting bruised pretty badly. Maybe wear heavier footwear than driving booties this year.

    I had my Atlantic there about 6 weeks ago. I have to warn ya , it's rough. It's my home track, but I won't be back till it's fixed. Maybe softer springs and more ride hgt?
