News News Construction crews grade the hillside above Turns 2-4 at Sears Point Raceway. Construction crews will continue to move dirt this week in preparation for the construction of 34,000 hillside terrace seats at Turns 2-4. In addition to the 34,000 seats, construction will hopefully begin by late October on a new 40-foot wide customer service road. This new road will create for a better flow of vehicle traffic. A separate shuttle route will also be built around the facility, beginning at Turn 2, to take fans around the property at major events.
Work also continues on the south end of the property.
Since breaking ground on the Modernization Plan on Sept. 13, more than 600,000 cubic yards of dirt have been moved from the south end. Once complete, the south end of the property will feature 146,000 square feet of additional tenant space, plus a Go-Kart track. The Go-Kart track will not be built until Phase 2 of the plan, but the additional tenant space should be available sometime during the 2001 season.
