Other changes at the Lowe's track will likely include a new area in the garage for fans to get a closer look at their favorite drivers. At the fan deck in Daytona you can get people's autographs. Bruton Smith built something similar at the Las Vegas track and has told local leaders that is what he wants to do with Lowe's "My goodness it's not just about motorsports it's truly a fan destination, it's like a Disneyland of motorsports," Cox said. Disneyland is great, but you have to pay to get in. John Cox said that it is too early to know what will be used to pay the $80 million price tag. Bonds are a good bet since they can be paid for with sales tax revenue. -- WBTV

Sales taxes equal anyone who buys something in that county. This means that, in a perfect world, the people would own this venture but we all know it ain't perfect. It'll be a private, profit making organization making the money and the good tax payers of that country will subsidize them.

I don't know exactly where this will all be placed but I predict that if the land can't be purchased for a bargain, the government will exercise eminent domain and seize it.

I like the concept of a racing Disneyland but I hate to see the taxpayers subsidize the thing for someone who believes in the church of OPM (Other People's Money).
