About the 2nd year that Spiker took over LPS he stopped over to our camper after one of the USAC races. I ask him when he had purchased the track and he said he didn't buy it but was leasing it. I ask who is paying for all the improvements. He said he was but he had a agreement that any improvement to the track would be discounted from the agreed price of the track if he would purchased it. Maybe he wasn't making his lease payments since he felt the improvements was payment enough.
