That ZR1 need any parts?

Seems that someone ought to consider getting some ground studies done with ground penetrating radar to see where there maybe more potential sink holes.
Don't even know if that would help since the nature of a sink hole is not usually soil missing from directly under the sight as it is a pocket of missing soil/rock many many feet down.

I know I've walked through that area many times. Strange to see the hole there now and sad to see the vetts at the bottom of it.
No doubt this will make the evening news.

Looks like concrete layed on plastic with no wire mesh and maybe some conduits under the concrete for electrical or something. And....some other access corridors under the concrete. Definitely would not expect heavy traffic on this floor and the tile would cover ALL pending cracks from concrete shrinkage with the plastic keeping moisture from reaching the tile above.

What a disaster

and could have happened outside as well as under some nice corvettes. But maybe some of those conduits you see are water lines that begin leaking over a long period of time. Which would be the reason why the sink hole happened where it did. A reason I do not like water lines under concrete...always go around any concrete flooring with water lines if possible for the simple reason it is easy to find and repair water leaks.

What I find that is very interesting first there looks like there were corridors under the floor now were those corridors created by water? Second it is amazing that the NCM starting displacing earth for the race track about 2 years ago is this part of the problem? I would like to know what the altitude of the NCM Museum is compared to the race track.

The area under the car is not supported so it is only being held by a thin layer of cement. You can see rebar but very little (or what looks like rebar).

EDIT: I hate seeing this... Our GS sat where the 40th was for 3 years. Glad she is home now!

You think they would close the museum ? Go to the NCM site and click on the webcams.
I'd GTFO of there asap.

The Falconer was sitting behind the last ZR-1 two weeks ago.
