                  Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

Phoenix International Raceway, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Phoenix
International Raceway, Inc. as of May 31, 1997, and the related combined
statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the nine months
ended May 31, 1997.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Phoenix
International Raceway, Inc. at May 31, 1997, and the combined results of their
operations and their cash flows for the nine months ended May 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

combined financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses applicable to the operation of the PIR motorsports complex.

     Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 14, 1997, between the

          Furniture and equipment .......................3-20 years
          Leasehold improvements ........................8-15 years

The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair
value at May 31, 1997.

     INCOME TAXES: PIR LP, operates as a limited partnership and PIR, LLC
operates as a limited liability company.  Under the provisions of a limited
partnership and a limited liability company, these entities do not pay
corporate income taxes on their taxable income.  Instead, the equity owners
include their share of the earnings from these entities in their individual
tax returns.

     PIR, Inc. operates as a C corporation.  Income taxes have been provided
for PIR, Inc. using the liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes".  Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse.

     ADMISSION INCOME: Admission income and all race-related revenue is earned
upon completion of an event and is stated net of admission and sales taxes
collected.  Refundable advance ticket sales and all race-related revenue on
future events are deferred until earned.

     ADVERTISING EXPENSES: Advertising costs are expended as incurred. 
Advertising expenses amounted to $402,000 for the nine months ended May 31,
1997.

     USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

NOTE 3 -- FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES

     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. 
Substantially all of the deferred tax asset results from the differences
between tax and financial reporting purposes for revenue recognition of
deferred income.

     Significant components of the provision for income taxes for the nine
months ended May 31, 1997, are as follows:

Current tax expense:
 Federal ..................               $       --
 State ....................                       --
Deferred tax expense
 Federal ..................                  428,465
 State ....................                  282,504
                                          __________
 PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES                $ 710,969
                                          ==========

     The difference between income tax expense (27.0%) and the amount of
income tax based on the statutory  tax rate (34.0%) is primarily due to state
taxes, net of federal benefit (7.7%) and the losses of PIR LP and  income of
PIR, LLC (-16.1%).  As indicated in Note 1, the financial statements include
the results of operations of PIR, LLC and PIR LP, but the Company does not pay
corporate income taxes on their taxable income or receive a benefit from their
tax losses.

NOTE 4 --NOTE PAYABLE

     In November 1993, the Company issued a note payable to a bank to finance
certain grandstand seating.  The principal amount borrowed was $1,184,499,
with principal and interest payments of $111,030 in May and November of each
year and principal and interest payments of $55,514 in February of each year. 
Principal and interest payments are payable through May 1, 1998, bear interest
at 7.35%, and are collateralized by certain grandstand seating.  As of May 31,
1997, the balance of the note payable was $262,851.

NOTE 5 -- LINE OF CREDIT

     The Company has a line of credit with a financial institution totaling $1
million, with an interest rate of prime plus 1.5% which expires in January,
1998.  As of May 31, 1997 the line of credit was unused.

NOTE 6 -- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     PIR, Inc.'s authorized capital includes 2,500,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock, par value $1.00 ("Class A Common Stock") and 25,000 shares of
Class B Common Stock, par value $1.00 ("Class B Common Stock").  The shares of
