Hmmm......not sure if you saw the exact same thing Tom. I'm not +ADw-br+AD4- surprised they're closing either, but not because of the experience, +ADw-br+AD4- but more the dollars and cents of the operation. I could never +ADw-br+AD4- understand how they could run enough people through per hour to pay +ADw-br+AD4- the huge overhead you have at such malls as Woodfield in Schaumburg, +ADw-br+AD4- IL. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Sure, it wasn't the Petty driving experience....but it beat the hell +ADw-br+AD4- out of Daytona USA. +ACY-nbsp+ADsAOw--) +ADw-br+AD4APA-/div+AD4-

You didn't even need a seatbelt at the Cafe, at +ADw-br+AD4- SMS, if you don't have one you'd get thrown all over the place. +ADw-br+AD4APA-/div+AD4-
