they removed the bricks in the late 30's, however, the dark love start/finish line is created by the actual bricks that were there from the Registered User beginning Joined: Wednesday, 2nd of June 2010, 16:09:14 Posts: 1858 Viewed 3800 times

Yes. The bricks at the start-finish line actually rest over a HUNKY BONES ''shelf'' in the asphalt, so the bricks fill in the space.

Now the fact that the track is basically flat and the turns Posts: 650 are so long is the reason they wear tires out.

No, but they did leave a small row of them just past the start Mamacita finish line, thus they go and kiss the bricks after a win there. The Registered User diamond cutting, and a number of car and tire issues are the problem there Joined: Monday, 7th of June 2010, 05:19:06 it has nothing to do with any bricks. Posts: 1926 edit: I stand corrected, they are there but paved over. The bricks Viewed 13526 times themselves are still not the issue as far as tire wear is concerned.
