             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              September 30, 1996

1.  The interim financial data is unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods. The condensed financial statements included herein have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principals have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by
the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the Company's
financial statements filed as part of the Company's June 30, 1996 Form 10-KSB.
This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such annual report.

2.  Net income per share was calculated using the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period and deducting dividends
relating to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of $26,150 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. The calculations are based on the treasury
stock method. Common Stock equivalents have not been included for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996 as they would be anti-dilutive.
Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83,
Common Stock issued for consideration below the three months ended September 30,
1995 offering price of $10.00 per share and stock options and warrants issued
with exercise prices below the offering price during the twelve-month period
preceding the initial filing of the Company's initial public offering, have been
included in the calculation of common shares, using the treasury stock method,
as if they were outstanding for all periods presented. The effect of the Series
A Convertible Stock issued at consideration below the initial public offering
price was to increase the weighted average shares outstanding for the three
month period ended September 30, 1995 by 68,750 shares.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

OVERVIEW

  The Company is the developer, owner and operator of the Grand Prix of Long
Beach, a three day, temporary circuit motorsports event that has been run each
spring on the streets of the City of Long Beach, California since 1975. The
Grand Prix of Long Beach consists of the featured Indy car race and a variety of
other road races and supporting attractions. Revenues are generated from
admission ticket sales, corporate sponsorships and hospitality (including rental
of corporate suites, tents and chalets), broadcast production services, the sale
of merchandise, concessions and other related event revenues. Since 1993, more
than 80% of the Company's annual revenues have been generated from operation of
that event. The Company actively seeks to increase utilization of its Grand Prix
assets, when they are not needed for that event, by making such assets,
including its portable grandstands, available to other racing and non-racing
event operators.

  A major strategic goal of the Company has been to locate, acquire, and develop
permanent motorsports venues in major metropolitan areas. As an initial step in
achieving that goal, in November 1994, the Company acquired Gateway
International Raceway in Madison, Illinois for the purpose of redeveloping and
operating it as a modern multi-purpose motorsports facility capable of hosting a
variety of nationally sanctioned events, as well as local and regional events.
That redevelopment started in April 1996. The Company anticipates that total
expenditures related to the redevelopment of this facility will be approximately
$18,500,000 (not including approximately $1,500,000 to establish and equip the
Gateway Law Enforcement Driving School, $1,000,000 to construct an oval suite
tower and approximately $500,000 in miscellaneous improvements, all of which are
anticipated to be paid for out of the proceeds of the initial public stock
offering). Projected costs of the redevelopment assume that subcontractors
adhere to the terms of their budgets, that adverse factors, such as labor
problems and weather, are kept to a minimum and that significant design changes
are not required. Any adverse changes in these items could materially increase
redevelopment costs.

  In order to finance the redevelopment of Gateway International Raceway, the
Company entered into a loan agreement with Southwestern Illinois Development
Authority ("SWIDA"), which agreed to fund a loan ("the SWIDA Loan") by issuing
bonds (the "Bonds") in a Municipal Bond Offering in the aggregate principal
amount of $21,500,000. The Company issued a 20-year $21,500,000 promissory note
to SWIDA which bears interest at an effective rate of approximately 9.1% per
annum. Payments of interest are to be made semi-annually, beginning February
1997, with interest payments through February 1998 derived from an interest
reserve fund described below, and principal payments will begin in February
2000. All proceeds from the SWIDA Loan are required to be dedicated by the
Company to the redevelopment of Gateway International Raceway and debt service
obligations with respect to the SWIDA Loan. As required pursuant to the
financing arrangement, the Company has established a $2,550,000 interest reserve
fund (from the proceeds of the SWIDA Loan). In addition, the Company has
established a $2,400,000 debt service reserve fund from the net
<PAGE>
 
proceeds of its $2,500,000 private placement of its Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock. Additionally, the Company is required to impose a 5% ticket
surcharge on all nationally sanctioned motorsports events at Gateway
International Raceway to establish an additional debt service reserve fund for
the Bonds.  Once $2,000,000 has been accumulated in this fund, excess funds then
accumulating will be used to redeem Bonds annually commencing February 1, 2002.

  On June 28, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Memphis Motorsports Park for $5,000,000. The purchase price was represented by
assumed debt ($2,500,000), which was immediately repaid by the Company with a
portion of the proceeds from its initial public offering, and the balance was
represented by 250,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock valued
at $2,500,000, which bear annual dividends at the rate of 4.185%. The Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company is convertible into shares of the
Common Stock on a share for share basis. The Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock cannot be converted into Common Stock prior to June 1997, and if the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is not converted by December 31, 1998, the
Company, during the month of January 1999, will be obligated to redeem all of
the then outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for a
nominal consideration and assume certain specified liabilities of the seller of
Memphis Motorsports Park existing at the time of the closing of the acquisition,
which liabilities are not to exceed $1,500,000.


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  Revenues.   The Company groups its revenues into two categories, major event
and other operating revenues.  Major event revenues are derived from nationally
sanctioned events at the Grand Prix of Long Beach, Memphis Motorsports Park and
Gateway International Raceway, including Admissions from ticket sales,
Sponsorships and Ancillary, containing hospitality, broadcast services,
merchandising, lifestyle/auto expo and concessions.  The Company generates other
operating revenues from promotion, marketing and public relations consulting
services and rentals of grandstands, structures and related equipment services.
Beginning with fiscal year 1995, the Company generated revenues from motorsports
events and related concessions at Gateway International Raceway, and beginning
in June 1996 from Memphis Motorsports Park.  All revenues are considered earned
upon completion of the related event.

  Expenses.   The Company classifies its expenses to include major event
expenses, other operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, and
depreciation.  Major event expenses principally include sanction fees, circuit
construction costs, operational direct expenses, marketing, advertising and
public relations, costs of souvenir sales, ticket sales expenses and city
service fees. Sanction agreements require race promoters to pay fees and provide
services to the relevant sanctioning body during the event. Other operating
expenses include expenses directly related to marketing and public relations
consulting services, structures and equipment rental services, broadcast
services and the direct expenses of operating Gateway
<PAGE>
 
International Raceway and Memphis Motorsports Park.  General and administrative
expenses include wages and other operational expenses.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1996
 
  Major Event Revenues and Expenses.  Because the Grand Prix of Long Beach is 
held in the Company's fourth fiscal quarter and no revenue is realized until the
event takes place, there are no major event revenues or expenses realized in the
three month periods ended September 30.

  Other Operating Revenues.  Other operating revenues of $1,566,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 consisted of approximately $749,000 from
consulting services and grandstand and equipment rentals and $817,000 from track
events, rentals and concessions at Gateway International Raceway and Memphis
Motorsports Park.  Other operating revenues increased by $385,000, or 32.6%,
from the three months ended September 30, 1995 primarily as the result of
$401,000 in motorsports and concessions revenues from operations at Memphis
Motorsports Park and $339,000 in additional grandstand and equipment rental
business.  Current revenues reflect a $160,000 reduction in broadcast services
contracts which expired December 1995 as well as a $259,000 reduction from
operations of Gateway International Raceway.  The Gateway reduction was due to
construction at the facility in 1996, which limited use to a 1/8 mile drag
strip in July and August as opposed to 1995 where pre-redevelopment
configuration allowed use for drag strip events, track rental or road course
events.

  Other Operating Expenses.   Other operating expenses of $773,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 increased $98,000, or 14.5% from the three
months ended September 30, 1995.   The increase in other operating expenses
resulted primarily from the addition of direct expenses associated with the
operation of Memphis Motorsports Park for three months in 1996.

  General and Administrative Expenses.   General and administrative expenses of
$775,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased $135,000, or
21.1% from the three months ended September 30, 1995, predominantly from the
additional general and administrative expenses for three months of operations at
Memphis Motorsports Park.

  Depreciation.   Depreciation expense of $120,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 increased by $20,000 or 20%, from the three months ended
September 30, 1995 as a result of the acquisition of Memphis Motorsports Park.

  Other Income and Expense.  Interest income from the investment of proceeds
from the Company's initial public stock offering and the proceeds from the SWIDA
Loan contributed $352,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996. Interest
expense related to the SWIDA Loan for the three months ended September 30, 1996 
was $412,317 (net of capitalized interest of $76,808).

  Benefit for Income Taxes.  The Company's effective tax rate is 42% based on
current tax rates in effect.
<PAGE>
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company relied on cash
flows from the proceeds from the initial public offering for working capital and
on proceeds of the SWIDA Loan for the redevelopment of Gateway International
Raceway.

  The Company's bank borrowings consist of short and long term obligations
incurred in connection with specific capital improvements and expenditures. Long
term debt includes first and second trust deed notes which together had an
outstanding principal balance of approximately $1,416,000 on September 30, 1996,
and the balance of the SWIDA Loan of approximately $21,460,000. Other long and
short term debt, totaling in the aggregate $101,000 on September 30, 1996,
consists of various secured and unsecured borrowings.

  The Company's cash and cash equivalents on September 30, 1996 equalled
$10,250,000, a net decrease of $2,058,000 from June 30, 1995. This was primarily
the result of cash used to fund the first quarter operating losses and capital
expenditures. Restricted cash pursuant to the terms of the SWIDA Loan as of
September 30, 1996 was $17,525,000. Net cash used by the Company in capital
improvements totaled $5,121,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
primarily due to costs associated with the construction at Gateway International
Raceway.

 
OUTLOOK FOR THE REMAINDER OF 1996

  With the 1996 racing season ending in early November at Gateway and in mid-
November at Memphis, due to the onset of winter, the Company expects the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 to reflect reduced operating revenues and corresponding
direct expenses and operating losses to continue until the Long Beach Grand Prix
is held in April 1997. Construction at Gateway will continue, weather
permitting, toward completion of the redevelopment of that facility on May 1,
1997.

  The Company's capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including
the rate at which the Company completes the redevelopments and improvements at 
Gateway International Raceway and Memphis Motorsports Park, establishes such
facilities as profitable operations and acquires other motorsports facilities.
In addition, the Company will have various ongoing needs for capital, including:
(i) working capital for operations; (ii) routine capital expenditures to
maintain and expand its Long Beach temporary circuit; and (iii) funds required
to service corporate obligations, including the $21,500,000 obligation under the
SWIDA Loan.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

  The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that it
believes could have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse
effect on its business or financial condition.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

NEW NATIONAL SANCTIONING AGREEMENTS.

  Gateway International Raceway.  Three major national events have now been
scheduled at Gateway International Raceway, the Company's permanent facility in
Madison, Illinois outside St. Louis.

  The Company and Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc. have entered into a
letter agreement providing for a PPG Indy Car World Series race to be held at
Gateway International Raceway for the next four years. The first event, which
has been scheduled for May 22-24, 1997, with the Indy Car race on Saturday, May
24, 1997, will be the first at Gateway International Raceway's 1.25 mile oval
track, which is currently under construction. The May 1997 date is contingent
upon completion of necessary construction at Gateway International Raceway. The
parties anticipate signing a standard written sanction agreement in the near
future.

  The National Hot Rod Association and the Company have entered into a standard
annual agreement for a national event at Gateway International Raceway.  The
event is one of three new races added to the Winston Drag Racing Series schedule
for 1997.  The inaugural event, titled the Craftsman Nationals presented by
Parts America is scheduled to be held on June 26-29, 1997.  The event will be 
televised by ABC and air on July 6, 1997.

  The Company has also entered into an agreement with NASCAR to host a Busch
Series, Grand National Division stock car event at Gateway International Raceway
on July 24-26, 1997. This date is important to the Company in that it is a
weekend on which NASCAR's Winston Cup Series does not operate, thus allowing
Winston Cup drivers to participate in the Busch Series event at Gateway
International Raceway, although no commitments have been received to date.

  While construction of the oval track at Gateway International Raceway is
currently scheduled for completion in late April, 1997, construction could be
delayed due to weather conditions.  Delay in completion of the oval may result
in the rescheduling or cancellation of the 1997 CART IndyCar event in May and
possibly the NASCAR event in July.  The drag strip at Gateway International
Raceway has been operational since the first week of September.
<PAGE>
 
  Memphis Motorsports Park. The Company has agreed with National Hot Rod
Association to change the date of the Pennzoil Nationals presented by AutoZone
at the Memphis Motorsports Park in Millington, Tennessee, from June to October 
2-5, 1997 to avoid the summer heat in the Memphis area. Renovations to the
facility are anticipated to be completed by June, 1997. The Company continues to
negotiate with sanctioning bodies towards scheduling an event on the oval in
September, 1997. Earnings may be affected by the failure to complete renovations
as scheduled and by failure to obtain additional sanctioning agreements.
