Wow. That sounds like a terrible idea.

Nowhere as bad as the decision to build a racetrack. Race tracks are disappearing at an alarming rate, especially if they do not have slots. Even Pimlico is only open today because the Maryland Jockey club gets a slice of the casino taxes.

Wow, that story details a number of disasters. Casinos are not cure alls. I kinda liked the suggestion buried in the article to transform the spot into a 'high performance' auto track, with an 'upscale' garage. This may seem to be an answer catering to the 1 per centers, but a similar track was created not far from me around an abandoned air strip. The car guys and gals frequent the track, and the surrounding businesses benefit as well.

Agreed. But, still a bad idea.
