A Race Against Time

The challenge in constructing the track was the narrow window of opportunity to build it. Mid-Ohio racetrack operates every day of the week, starting in the first week of April through the first week of November. Kokosing Construction Company's main concern was the feasibility of the scope of work involved, due to the tight schedule. The majority of the work was asphalt paving, and the scheduled reconstruction time of the project is normally not conducive in Ohio for asphalt paving; especially with the type of special polymerized asphalt mixes involved.  In regards to the resurfacing of the road course, six-time AMA Superbike champion Mat Mladin stated, “The surface is beautiful. I can’t complain about the surface at all. This is probably the best surface we go to anywhere as far as being smooth and having some decent grip.”
