I think it would be great. However, there is some local opposition (additional noise, traffic, etc). But that is a sparsely populated area of Oak Ridge.
If it goes the way the "downtown revitalization" is going it will either take forever or will only be a portion of what the big design is with the main track, restaurants, shopping, kids area, and outdoor park, in addition to several smaller tracks/configuration.
The area was built to attract industry with ties to Oak Ridge National Laboratory but nothing has materialized.
This would be something unique that would draw people in whether it be for the motorsports or the entertainment.
Fingers crossed. "Let's go racing boyz."
