Talk of a shopping center???
Sounds like they plan to build a replica 1911 speedway, much like they did for The Alamo. John Wayne reconstructed the Alamo to scale for that film. Unfortunately, that's about the only thing he got right. The film starring Billy Bob Thornton as David Crockett was much more accurate.
Hopefully, Pizzo and group will achieve the same thing with this film. I do find it curious that that the Speedway has a wait-and-see attitude on this film project -- unless there is some other venture they'd rather support. I remember back when Days of Thunder was announced that a group -- that included Al Unser Jr. -- announced a movie project about IndyCar racing that never got made.
