Pala Raceway Update
Welcome to the Pala Raceway Report. We will try and keep you informed of the construction process of the Pala Raceway with regular updates. Also check back for updates on www.palaraceway.com on a regular basis for updates.
Construction Update 3/24/2008:
Week seven of construction went good as the preparation for track building continues with its progress. A large area of track dirt was excavated and moved onto the area where the Vet track will be built. As the week came to a close the sub grade on the remainder of the Pro track was being cut and will be filled back up with track dirt. A few truck loads of old concrete foundations and chain link fencing were taken off site as well this past week as the site is being cleared of the remnants of the mining operation.
Warning:
While the mass grading is going on the site is a closed site and no one besides authorized personal will be allowed on site due to the dangerous nature of the construction site. Please do not try and come out to the site, security will not let you through the front gate unless you are chaperoned by a member of the Pala Raceway Staff. Once the mass grading is done and the track building crews are on site we will begin offering site tours. We will be installing a web cam as soon as electricity is readily available on the site so you can view what is happening on the site. We will let you know when it goes live so you can keep updated on our progress.

Here are some of the more frequently asked questions that our staff receives on a daily basis, hopefully if you had the same questions we can answer them here.
Is Pala Raceway Open/or when is Pala Raceway Opening?
This is the main question that we get asked everyday. We know everyone is excited and can’t wait to ride laps at Pala Raceway, but we still do not have an exact date for our Grand Opening. We feel we are making great progress and we are optimistic in the timeline, but with any construction project and especially one of this size; any number of things could cause a delay that would force a change of the Grand Opening date. We will have a date decided once we are confident that we will be able to meet that deadline. Everyone will be notified once a date is chosen.

Can I come out to the track and check it out?
We are still not accepting visitors on site due to the dangerous nature of the site and Grading Contractor’s need for unobstructed work areas for safety and for speed. Once the building of tracks begins we will organize small tours of the site for those that are interested.
