Did you guys ride Main before it was repaved? When it had concrete in T1, 5 and 6? The pics I saw in T1 didn't look that bad. Not sure what T5/6 looks like. I heard it had not received any concrete patches.
Let me put it this was, Wood and Jensen et al were still able to run 13's and 14's there a couple of weeks ago so it is definitely still possible to go fast there.
Of course, to each his own. We all have to make up our own mind, but don't chase a newbie away when you haven't ridden it yourself yet!
Punisher, I hope to see you there.
