I can't say that I wouldn't have done the same thing. If I bought that track 18 months ago for $2 million and sold it today for the reported $10-13 million (figures reported on the internet so who knows what the real amounts were)....I would have done it in a heartbeat. To take him out of the hall of fame is over reacting for sure. I hate to see a track with that much history go away but it is life and stuff happens.

For those people saying he didn't have any plans on keeping the track going long term....or didn't care for the races just his wallet....put yourself in his shoes....if your mom and dad bought the house you grew up in for $75,000 (back in 1965 that would have been a hell of a house), and a guy offers them $4 million for it today....don't you think mom and dad would sell the house in a heart beat......he didn't do anything most people wouldn't have done in his shoes.
