Originally, I believe most people uses asphalt for the price. But thanks to the wonderful people at OPEC oil prices have made asphalt as expensive as concrete.
One reason concrete was a little more expensive was service life. Concrete can last almost 20 years with occasional slab replacement. Asphalt maybe 8 years. New combinations are being tested at my alma mater with different asphalt types, trying to get to almost 12 years now I believe. Also, depending on what part of the country you live in, asphalt can last a little while longer compared to other climates. So, some tracks can get away with asphalt and maybe relaying it every 5 years (lot of abuse and high smoothness guidelines). -------------------- -The original (member) 007. Stop looking at me Spy!!
