Quote from: Thegeet on July 03, 2025, 12:12:26 PMFor the Wharton portion of construction, can anyone recall if:
a): Pumping Station Rd is getting an interchange built
and,
b): FM 102 Overpass will be rebuilt?
P.S. TO anyone wondering, Hinze's BBQ is slated to come back near the Frontage road. They're that BBQ restaurant that burnt down and relocated in-town.
Quote from: Strider on July 07, 2025, 04:05:07 PMI'm curious... based on so many bridge piers built on the photos, is it also the floodplains that I-69 will go across in addition to the Ohio River, or are they dry lands prior to the Ohio River?
QuoteThe 648-meter Rail Over Bridge (ROB) was supposed to connect Mahamai Ka Bagh and New Bhopal, easing congestion and slashing wait times for up to 300,000 daily commuters. Instead, it's become a punchline and a cautionary tale.

(I missed the race, but sounds like I missed a good one.)
My take on road course wins is that they just as legitimate (if not more) than restrictor plate tracks. Road courses at least require skill, plate track winners often just lucky.
If NASCAR ran as many road courses back in the 1990s-2000s as they do now, Jeff Gordon would have retired with about a dozen championships.
Mark Martin would have certainly had at least one.
Assuming he doesn't have his accident at Michigan, Ernie Irvan probably wins in 1994 in that instance as well.
I wonder, other than rovals (Phoenix, Charlotte, Texas World, Homestead when it was built in '95) how many road courses aside from Sonoma and Watkins Glen had enough garage and pit road space for a full Cup (and possibly Busch/trucks) field at the time. Maybe just Laguna Seca and Road America.
