The things race organizers have to do...

We may think that organizing motor racing is not a difficult business but it is a lot more complicated a business than some would have you believe. In preparation for this month's big NASCAR events at the Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, NC, the circuit management has just run an impressive test of its plumbing system. This involved the simultaneous flushing of the speedway's 3000 toilets to simulate a peak demand and to ensure that there are no nasty incidents...

Apparently all went well.
