Wow times have changed. I remember when Bobby Epstein complained the track didn't make money and couldn't pay for upgrading the surface. I did see F1 renewed through 2034. With Cadillac starting in 2026 the local crowd may keep growing.
Edit: and those member days may get boring with a handful at most out at the track. If I break away so that I have the track to myself sure I can get a best lap but its more fun to run with a group to me.
