Howard, not to question you in a disrespectful way, but what does a private race track owe to the little guy?  They were pretty welcoming in the beginning to everyone, but at the same time the economy turned and most investors ran for the hills.  They planned a short track (3/4 mile, if that is considered a short track) to help the locals when Wall closed in 2008.  I saw the plans. They were all in, until the economy tanked and Wall reopened.

It's a beautiful facility and when they planned it in the early 2000's I said "No way" will it happen and it sure did happen. I'm not sure another facility in South Jersey could be built, especially in Atlantic City. Between the unions and the DEP, it will be tough planning. That field is basically surrounded by water and the DEP is tougher than ever on anything near water.
