I always attend their national events, years ago they had to stop the event because they had a weeper in the right lane, the tide would come up and come up through the weepers in the track. They would get the jet dryer out and blow the moister out of the weepers and resume the event.

Honestly to do it right is not a cheap undertaking...
You can't just dump asphalt and smear it around...
There is a lot of prep and stabilization work to do it, and make it last...
Especially with the water table as high as it is there...
Maybe if they had done a little each year over time it would have been possible...
I fear it's too late for that now...
