I have to say we're very encouraged by our performance. Marcus is very happy with the car and was giving us positive feedback after the first two or three runs.

We don't have the time to make repairs and there is no way the car could compete. |
We?re in contact with three national movie chains. One of our goals is to put a movie theater on the eastern side of the property. It?s a high priority goal. |
