They are attempting to widen the turf course in an attempt to show the BC Committe that they can handle having the event there. There was a small blurb in the Sautrday DRF.

The HexaDeck system will facilitate the installation of the San Diego Fair’s concert stage at its usual spot on the racetrack in the middle of the stretch. HexaDeck was designed for the specific purpose of protecting athletic fields being used for concert venues.

They have done some flat track racing on the main track when it was dirt. It's quite the sight to watch the big Harleys at over 100 mph and then sideways in the turns.
