I really think had Tavo continued to be a major part of the circuit operations, we would be seeing a very different COTA than what we have now. There was going to be a lot more going on than what's there currently. As I think you stated a few posts back, there would have been involvement with the surrounding community such as the schools. They were planning on working with local companies with research and such. They were originally even working on some other phases behind the scenes, but alas... we will never know what additions that could have been other than rumor and innuendo. Bottom line is once Epstein had full control, everything that it could have been was out the window. He has done nothing over the years to make it worthwhile for development to move in around the track..
