For transportation purposes concrete can be more abrasive due to the tining and "dragging" done upon finishing for drainage purposes (Ever hear the humming noise your tires make on the interstate?). However, in a nontransportation application concrete can be finished to a smooth glass finish (garage floor, anyone?). The portland can cover the aggregate and make it this smooth.
Asphalt (bituminous asphalt concrete cement) is simply crushed stones with a certain gradation (dependant upon uses) covered in molten hot asphalt concrete. The smooth paving from a drum roller smashes the stone in the concrete into an interlocking manner. While some racetracks are concrete, several are still bituminous. Indy is bituminous, and so is Gateway in St. Louis, just to name a few off the top of my head. -------------------- -The original (member) 007. Stop looking at me Spy!!
