Someone come up with millions and millions to do this.  Turn and old mall into a race complex.  The possibilities!

A few months ago I posted that my local mall was being auctioned off and many people poo-poo'd the idea.

I'm with you, man.  Complete inner complex, usually a garage area, food service space, put bleachers on the roof, and bingo.

Many years ago we used to use a local mall for autocrosses once a month because they were closed on Sundays.

Once a year, we'd get the whole place and build a road course around it.  This was in the early 80's when it was still hard to get on a real track.  It was pretty epic for a bunch of cone dodgers.

I was thinking more a chance to re-create a certain Blues Brothers scene.

Considering that its hard enough to keep a track open when the town grows out to it, it would probably be easier to reopen Three Mile Island.

Oh, wait...

Yes, this. Also indoor storage units and garage condos.

There's a whole lot of electrical infrastructure at a mall....  Keep the noise down with a Tesla Model3 spec class.
