Is it on TeeVee? Y'all gonna thread it?

I am not even looking for radio coverage. XM radio is doing this thing called IT. It is a chronological history of pop music from the get go. Started with the 20's - up to the mid 50's. I am hooked into that now.

Small sitrep. The two race weekends are HUGH economic infusion for this area. For some residents, the congestion can be a pain. But, most of us take special care to welcome our guests - give them every break in traffic; a smile and a greeting in the stores and restaurants. And count up the money!

Thank you Bruton Smith!!

I know what you mean.

This town lives on tourists, obviously. But when I heard the $$ figure that they had estimated from the Cup weekend..."wow" didn't cut it.

The city just voted to approve spending $500,000 on road improvements so we could host the Champ Cars on a road circuit. Estimated return on investment for the local economy - $72,000,000.00

And that ain't squat compared to the Nascar weekend.
