I wonder if shoppers at the shiny Townegate
mall realize they're strolling on sacred ground while they slurp their
lattes? Do today's generation of mall rats have any idea that the
muzak rotting their brains has replaced the scream of Ferrari V12s rounding
Turn 6?
Is there anything left of the fabled
road course? Only the old sign
still standing along Hwy 60. (Not even that, anymore.)
I visited the raceway site last year
and arrived just as the bulldozers obliterated the last surviving relics
of Turn 9. I'm sure more houses
will be going in soon, if they're not already there.
Thanks to Scott ? Tami Bennett for the
