Good morning, If IndyCar hired me as their strategic marketing analyst, I would encourage the league to focus its efforts on road courses, as well as, oval tracks for its racing venues.

universities were repositories for documents but I assumed that being there are much larger, more important schools, not too far from here, that they would be stored there. It didn’t take long for those thoughts to leave. It wasn’t that Charlotte somehow had something unique and spectacular but the fact that it had varied items from throughout the history. Thinking back, most of the artifacts were on the side of insignificant but that is to be expected. Cities will just unload their old files…
