$100 MILLION RACEWAY
In June 1998, Frank Arcierio became the owner of 1,000 acres of property to develop a state-of-the-art, multi-use facility capable of accommodating virtually every type of professional auto racing.  The project became a reality after an 86.3 percent favorable vote by the Olivehurst area population that allowed for the rezoning of the property to what is now identified as the new "Sports and Entertainment Zone."  The site will feature a 1.3-mile banked oval, a 4,540-foot drag strip, and several road courses in configurations ranging from 1.2 to 2.1 miles.  Spectator areas will include grandstand seating for 40,000 on the oval, 10,000 on the drag stri0p, plus open spectator viewing areas and luxury suites.
