$100MM sounds kind of cheap for a NASCAR track.

Yeah at say 2.5 miles, 100MM sounds cheap for a Louisiana project. (under $50M per mile) Bob Odom must have his hands out of this one.

I went to the Coca-Cola 600 one year and they announced the attendance at over 200,000.

We used to have a racetrack at the fairgrounds which hosted the Firecracker 200 or something like that back in the 70's. It was ok, but I also remember high speed go-carts racing that track and I think I liked it better than the cars. Attendance was typical for Shreveport. I'd say about 5,000 back then.
