Workers survey the track during the re-profiling and repaving project. The Turn 1 and 2 section is graded to reduce the banking from 24 to 20 degrees and increase the racing surface from 60 to 80 feet. The re-profiling is part of a major track capital improvement project that also includes a complete repave and a new drainage system.
