I doubt thats going to be the case between having to cover the costs of construction and the proximity to Toronto… AND thats before you even factor in the value of the Canadian dollar.

Dunno. You can ask them on their facebook page. IMO, judging by what’s been going on, I’d say it’s already a done deal. But who knows when the hippies are involved. I’m headed to Florida though, so I won’t be going.

Final Appeal against was denied. They are planning a groundbreaking ceremony. Hopefully it still includes a road course hahahaha. (the road course bit is me joking around that after all that wouldn’t it suck if they just built the oval, I have no inside knowledge on this topic).
