How to build a 400 metre track...in 2 mins

Here's an interesting video clip......the construction of the new track at Albert Park's Lakeside Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.

This is how you construct a world class IAAF standard track in just over 2 minutes...

2 Mins!! LOL! When I saw the heading I said something along the lines of "WTf???...No way!" Anyway interesting video.

BTW, when the CIT track was relaid, in 2001, the track shut for 6 weeks for the job. The weather was awful for long periods that year, so the track was actually shut for 11 months!

The Aussies should be thankful for their good weather! Hmmm...no wonder it only took them 2 mins and us 11 months, with our weather! [grin]
