This is a weird picture

Can you get some close up pics of the track side drains that are being installed (ones that are stacked by the tarmac).

I'll see what we can do, but the "good" camera is down and all my photos lately have been of the cellphone variety. My new Evo LTE does a fantastic job as long as I don't zoom. Once I use the digital zoom, all bets are off.

Just wanted to know if they are being installed like this

Anyone know what's going on here with the sloped concrete?



You can see it here too - it runs right down the middle of pit lane...

I'm not saying anything...

Fireproofing over concrete?

My entirely uneducated guess would be components of some kind of drainage. But I have no clue...

Insulation...spray foam before the false cieling

Nor am I. :-"

Seriously, that image mystifies me, are those guys erecting a wall or xcavating a quarry?

But hey, perhaps this is what being below the Mason-Dixon line was really all about?

A rather provocative comment considering the persuasion of these builders pictured

the sloped concrete in the pitlane is for drainage, it will be hidden, it is being done like that to maximize water runoff and undegrround drains....the stone wall...I have no clue yet

I'm sorry, their Michellangellian approach didn't seep through at first, but now that you mention it.
