Photos of Old Track
The track was constructed in 1979. The surface, rubberized asphalt, was typical for tracks constructed at that time. It has a limited ability for repairs and maintenance, and has a typical life expectancy of 12-15 years. Starting in the mid-1980's, rubberized asphalt was rarely used for new tracks.
The current track has:
- Large Cracks
- Numerous Breaks
- Uneven Surfaces
- Field event areas
extremely deteriorated
- Lane markings not
visible in places
These photos were taken in the fall of 2008 and show the deteriorated conditions of the track.
