Brick yard tire killer?
So the bar had Nascar on as usual and OMG! Yellow flags every ten or twelve laps due to the surface killing the tires. What does this bode for the MotoGP?

Too early to say. Even if tough now, it can change radically after some rubber has been laid down. I've had the pleasure (and tire expense) of breaking in 3 brand new tracks in the last 2 years. One of them I was one of two guys out for the first bike laps ever. Tires went evenly, but quickly. Take that with a grain of salt. There are tons of different aggregate and binder combos, with tons of different wear and grip profiles that are more or less (sometimes not at all) with temperature, humidity, and amount of rubber down. Just too early to say.
