Im not a very emotional person, but this made me start to cry. I lost my grandfather in Dec. 2022 to cancer, and he was a staple in my hobbies. Both firearms and fast cars. We would talk for HOURS on end about what he did back in the day with his cars, scroll FB marketplace and showing him videos of my boosted sn95 cobra. I was so close with him. When I see Sam, its like im watching my grandfather, they are so alike. Sam is just out there living life, doing what he loves, you guys are the best. Rest in peace Papa, and fuck cancer.

[@jra5624]

Cleeter if you really want to make this track last a long time - cement treat the baserock then microcrack it. Then lay the mix on top of that. It's going to cost quite a bit more - but it'll get you by for decades more without having to replace or rework the base material. When you have a failure, which you will over time - mill it back up, replace the small section and lay more hotmix. The cement treated base will keep it from taking too much damage from all the rain that you guys get. And it'll create a much harder surface over time. I'd do a 8"-10" full base replacement - and cement treat it at atleast 2% of mass to flexbase. Cement treated base also helps MASSIVELY with spreading the load out on the subgrade - which really is a big point of CTB. Love what you guys do and the hard work you put in. You've really brought soo much to the racing community.

[@ImStormX1]

I obviously know that value wise $1,000,000 isn’t a drop in the bucket for 99.9% of people. However there is one thing you should consider. The more money you put in for repairs over the years for the long haul as I’m sure you probably plan to own it for a while, it WILL get to the point where maintaining it will start encroaching upon 1/4 - 1/2 of your minimum quote for sure. Do it right the first time and don’t ever blink at it again and have a beautiful aesthetic track, or bandaid it over time for the next couple years and end up paying almost 25% more for a full replacement. I’d buy a repave t-shirt just to see a beautiful and serious track at the Freedom Factory!

[@a-a-rondavis9438]

He'll pour more money in when he moves to a new location. That's inevitable.

[@LohStultus]

Even if he has the $1,000,000 to spend on the repour, it still wouldn't be feasible with the new home construction that is being built within earshot of the Freedom Factory and the Drag strip. The area is 'protected' right now, but the county still has the ability to remove the protection and cause both facilities to close down and move further from the town. Doesn't make sense to put in $1,000,000 into a 1-2 year life of the new track

[@GP99GT]

thanks random youtube guy

[@JU5TAV6]

They might seem like a wild goofy simple group of guys, but rest assured that whole team is smart. They have good heads on their shoulders and they probably understand more about finances, then most of the people who view their videos. Myself included. Just think about how much the channel has grown in the last Two years. I totally get where you’re coming from. When you say do it right one time, but they seem to have the motivation knowledge and resources (finances) to continually create content while expanding their fleet and assets. It’s straight up impressive and I’d like to hope that one day the freedom factory will grow to a well paved track with regular events and staff to support the events. The sky is the limit when it comes to these guys. Actually that’s not even the limit because he flies planes now. 🤷🏽‍♂️
