$4million cash. That could have been raised with a little time.
Was the Track profitable? Should have been near Dallas.
That is a huge metropolitan area.

I count 9 other tracks within 100 miles of the DFW area, 2 of them in very close proximity to this track. This certainly has to be part of the problem.
