    Yeah it would have been off the chain...
    Does anyone have any more info on it, how long did it run for and pics.
    It would've been better than dropping back a gear and flooring it under a bridge doing a flyby.
    Cheers Darren

    Alright, let's say, by some miracle, a building such as Boeing's Everett factory could be built or procured:

    List any/all reasons why you could be shut down if you operate cars inside. Remember this is would be private property.

    i was just a punk, but i was there, i went with some friends, loud as hell. and that was arnie beswick. as i remember they didnt race there long. if i remember correctly they had some ruff accidents, you had to run out the back doors at the finish and somebody didnt quite make it. there were concrete dividers in between the doors and somebody hit them. tore the **** out of the car. that about put an end to it. then i was in that building about 25 years later watching monster trucks with my little guy, when one got out of shape and landed in the mens bathroom, thank god nobody was in there.

    i meant reasons by outsiders/busybodies and other ***holes that would want to shut you down, not chemical reasons---there would be adequate ventilation installed.
