What was the airport impact? Sounds like quite complementary uses. Lots
of NASCAR tracks are adjacent to airports. Daytona is even right at the
big airport there. Most weeks out of the year the facility just takes up
space. Any time you have an event the size of a NASCAR race comes to town,
you get special traffic rules at the local airports regardless of how close
they are...there's a huge Bizjet crowd for these events. (Not limitted ot
auto racing for those of you used to filing all those silly notams in your
jepp binders. The Penn State home games pretty much swamp the three local
airports as well).
