| I wonder if shoppers
at the shiny Townegate mall realize they're strolling on sacred ground
while they slurp their lattes? Do today's generation of mall rats
have any idea that the muzak rotting their brains has replaced the scream
of Ferrari V12s rounding Turn 6?
Is there anything left
of the fabled road course? Only the old
sign still standing along Hwy 60. (Not even that, anymore.)
I visited the raceway
site last year and arrived just as the bulldozers obliterated the last
surviving relics of Turn 9. I'm
sure more houses will be going in soon, if they're not already there.
