Question: How do you pave a 2.66 mile long track with a 33 degree bank in the turns?

Answer: Very carefully, with steamrollers and 40-ton pavers on 3-point winches and cranes. And to get the bulldozers (used as counterweights) at the top of the turn, you have to disassemble the entire crash netting. They've been at it for 2 months, and they're only half done.
