As a millennial, and knowing millennials, this is a fucking genius idea to target new, younger fans.

Racetracks dont have clean bathrooms or edible food, but lets spend millions to put in a moving Grandstand.

Same. This is a REALLY cool idea. Don't know how much I'd love it as a bettor but the party types would love this.

Hey kid if you want to go on a ride go to the fucking amusement park.

Bashing an idea that might actually get people interested in coming to the racetrack? Nice. Speed is the most thrilling aspect of the game. If you can give that experience, and it's not something you can do at home or on the phone, it's priceless.

Seems like the geriatric crowd hates it but the younger posters on the board think it's a good idea. Just in case you wonder why racing is so dead, this illustrates it nicely.
