US 131 MSP upgrades

TRACK ENHANCEMENTS TAKING PLACE AT US 131 MSP Martin, MI- US 131 Motorsports Park’s racing surface is undergoing a facelift during its off season in preparation for the 2010 racing season.  Specialized equipment has begun milling out 16 feet sections in each lane of the racing surface in preparation of an additional 500 feet of concrete to be poured, replacing the current asphalt.   This enhancement will give the already smooth surface a total of 1000 feet of concrete with the remainder of the 1320 feet surface remaining as asphalt.  “This plan is one of being proactive not reactive,” states US 131 Motorsports Park general manager Jason Peterson.  “Due to normal wear on a track, in time rough areas develop along with possible water seeping and other issues.  Because of the amount of use this track receives through weekly events and private testing from both IHRA and NHRA professional teams, we are taking this step in advance rather than waiting,” continued Peterson.  

By starting on this project now, the concrete will have time to cure and set over the winter months.  In March the racing surface will then be ground to ensure a return to a smooth and flat racing surface.  Known as “The Fastest Track in Michigan,” US 131 Motorsports Park has every intention of keeping this prestigious declaration.
