The thought there wouldn't necessarily be getting people off of street racing, although that's a good thing too, but to bring in crowds of people several nights a week who would also spend money at local restaurants and gas stations.

But anyway, use a private company with city support so the city doesn't have to take on liability.
I like this idea too, similar to cities building venues for pro sports teams. The peripheral economic impact would be a great way to help push the idea.
