    Progress on structures coming along, as you can see. Track from front strait through turn 11 ready for paving phase (which will come last). Still working on stadium sections (turn 12 through 19). Entire track had to be dug down to depth of 8-10 feet, and filled with exotic mix of soils/sands to ensure stability and drainage. Scale of this facility is incredible...strait from turn 11 to 12 is probably a full mile long (with a 90 degree turn at the end).

    They are working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
