A piece of Las Vegas history, rotting away in some lot off the strip - from the original Sahara Hotel, this is what trending of the rollercoaster known as "Speed: The Ride". https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8d110c85d6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...59196f0746.jpg

A lot of that stuff will get repurposed. My company is down there building the new Tropicana interchange. That could be one of their yards.

Speaking of Las Vegas....



I was down there for the Grand Prix in November. My seat was in the T-Mobile Zone at The Sphere between turns 5 and 8. It's hard to get good pics of cars going by at 100mph. My ticket included all you can eat free food and drink!
Since the track was on busy streets, crews worked all night to convert the streets to race track, then put it all back to normal before 6:00 am. A MASSIVE undertaking.

Oh, I know all about that F1 track. I was driving for the race. Not only that, but, I got to drive two laps on the track every night..in a 56-passenger motorcoach. I even have a video of it on my YouTube channel - Ninth Island RC

Every evening, before the track went 'hot', we would travel up Las Vegas Blvd, enter through turn 14, drop off our track marshalls at their designated locations, and exit through turn 9. Then, in the early morning hours, after the track went 'cold', we would enter through turn 9, pick up our track marshalls at the same locations we dropped them off at, and exit out turn 14. In my case, since I was dropping off the track Marshalls in front of the Wynn, I would do 1.5 laps during the drop off, and 0.5 laps during the pickup.
