Maybe with the money they are saving they can pay for new pavement for the road courses. Unless the home, I mean museum, needs a pool or addition.

You're lookin at it all wrong George. With the improvements made, they'll be doubling the rental fee's for the track and electric...

Not true, they now have power to keep the vehicle's batteries charged because they won't be using them.

I can see the fee going up and the car batteries dying from lack of use but as long as they rake in the bucks with the 2 nascar races we'll never see anything done with the access roads, I mean the road courses there.

I agree. So long as they won't improve the condition and safety of the Pocono infield courses, I will opt to spend my money at other local facilities.
