tough to tell but the equipment in use is plentiful and first rate. I was impressed with the depth of excavation in Big Bend. They are digging down a good 3-4 feet in places, laying down a heavy black sheet (plastic? carbon??), a layer of large white gravel, then I assume an asphalt mix of some sort. We can only hope a sprinkler system will be operational to soak different parts of the track when the sun is shining...
One thing for sure, it will be different...for a while
oh, and a very nice post Harsha, well put.
