I have a feeling Patrick only got lip service. There will be lights in the parking lot, at least, who are they kidding? Security lighting, garage areas, concessions...spotlights in the sky, (it's owned by a car dealership tycoon, remember?) there will be acres of lights even if the track itself isn't lit. More billboards, small businesses will sprout-up around it such as gas-stations, convenience stores, restaurants, etc. And what about the construction phase itself? Will this summer be washed-out because of all-night construction lights as they race to open the place on-time? It's a Pandoras box. Go ahead and put a good spin on it if you want; roll over and believe whatever the government tells you. I can't see anything good, astronomically, about either the Walmart facility or the racetrack. I'm not bringing all this up in an attack on SPOC - I've said repeatedly that SPOC has years, maybe decades of use ahead of it. Heck, I'm not even an active member and really don't care what the club does with its money. I pay my dues and folks with more time on their hands than I give some of it back to the community, terrific arrangement. What I AM saying is that the skies over the Tooele valley are much worse than they were 25 years ago, are getting worse still, and at a much faster pace as time goes by. Any other position is undefendable. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search. http://info.mail.yahoo.com/mail_250
