Grape, not trying to be confrontational but where did you find the $900 million figure? If that is the case, the Owner/promoter are f'n morons. Miller Motorsport supposedly cost $120 Million and this track is NOT 7 times bigger or better.
Personally, I think in the long run, this track will have a 3 to 6 year run. With the economy tanking in the next couple years, ticket sales here and at every track are going to go WAY down. Spectators can save a lot of money by just sitting at home and get an acceptable experience.
That being said, I do hope it finds a way to stick around for many years and then open it's doors to Club racing events. I know there are a few Grand Am events, a NARRA event and an SCCA double national scheduled. I have V8 supercar tickets near turn 15 for May and can't wait. I just don't see those events filling the stands if at all because those series are designed for TV coverage. AV8SC does put on a hell of a live show though.
eh, time will tell overall but I am NOT looking forward to the traffic problems even at the MAY event.
