This translates to "Mr. RA." I like it.

New tower..NIce. Current one is a dump.
hopefully the money will go to upgrading other parts of the facility. Better concessions, more/actual working electrical hookups in the paddock, etc....everything needs work.

One of America's GREAT road circuits, with a decades-long history, is served by a two-lane road, has zero spectator parking on the main straight, virtually NO grandstands, ONE bathroom... and Michelin is going to build a VIP center. Well, of course, that makes sense (sarcasm intended). And they're going to be "working around the clock" to finish the project within a year.

Agreed. Never understood why a track like RA had a paddock with such limited services. Just a few random hookups/plugs on light poles around the edge.
