Daytona said they are meeting with architects, which I assume would be to add things like locker rooms and addition seating. I wonder if Daytona would pay for that to make themselves look more attractive.

To me Daytona still makes the most sense logistically so I’m pulling for that to be the place that gets picked. I really can’t stomach going to Gainesville/Orlando for two years.

I wonder if that direction is putting stands in the infield, much like Indynoplace Motor Speedway did.

I know the track is so big that visibility of the entire venue is not an option, but it would cheese me royal if I bought front stretch seats and spent the day looking at a wall of seats across the asphalt.

It's actually not dormant most of the time and that is another issue. Things happen there throughout the year, not always on the oval track or racing but there are things going on every month.

They will have to decide what does or doesn't happen if the playoffs are happening and the Jags are hosting because that interferes with the racing in late Jan.
