it's definitely gotten a little rougher since last year ....CCW hits the worst of it, but it's really not that bad....
Damn Turn and the Back straight certainly move you though...I have a video up on facebook and you can just see the camera bouncing in a couple spots. |

I've ridden at TWS, Cresson and MSR-Houston. Never seen a track surface deteriorate that much in 6 months. Crazy!

It is an underlayment issue. If the underlayment is solid, the pavement doesn't go anywhere. That is why Santa Rita is so solid, it's a solid road base.
Houston fell apart within the first year, last year it got really bumpy. The previous property owner was a rice farm. Swamp. Not usually good as road base. ECR has had their own issues. Cresson has been great, but then look at the rock quarry next door to it.

Any of you guys ever heard of Oak Hill in Henderson, TX? You'll never think any other track is bumpy if you have...
