    The following Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contain "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words such as "expects", "anticipates",
"approximates", "believes", "estimates", "intends", and "hopes", and variations
of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect management's current views,
are based on certain assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. No
assurance can be given that actual results or events will not differ materially
from those projected, estimated, assumed or anticipated in any such
forward-looking statements. Important factors that could result in such
differences, in addition to other factors noted with such forward-looking
statements, include those discussed in Exhibit 99.1 to the Company's 1999 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Speedway
Motorsports, Inc. (SMI) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Atlanta Motor
Speedway, Inc. (AMS), Bristol Motor Speedway, Inc. (BMS), Charlotte Motor
Speedway, Inc. and subsidiaries d/b/a Lowe's Motor Speedway at Charlotte (LMSC),
Las Vegas Motor Speedway LLC (LVMS), SPR Acquisition Corp. d/b/a Sears Point
Raceway (SPR), Texas Motor Speedway, Inc. (TMS), Speedway Systems LLC d/b/a
Finish Line Events and subsidiaries (FLE), Oil-Chem Research Corp. (ORC),
Speedway Media LLC d/b/a Racing Country USA (RCU), SoldUSA, Inc., and Speedway
Funding Corp. (collectively, the Company).

    See Note 1 to the December 31, 1999 Consolidated Financial Statements for
further description of the Company's business operations, properties and
scheduled events.

    CURRENT YEAR ACQUISITION - In January 2000, the Company acquired certain
tangible and intangible assets and operations of Racing Country USA, a
nationally syndicated radio show, for $2,000,000 in cash. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method, and the results of operations after
acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated statements of income.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1999 included in its 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    In management's opinion, these unaudited consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments necessary for their fair presentation at interim
periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

    The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of operating results that may be expected for the entire year due to the
seasonal nature of the Company's motorsports business.

                                       8
<PAGE>

    REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes revenues and operating expenses
for all events in the calendar quarter in which conducted except for major
NASCAR racing events which occur on the last weekend of a calendar quarter. When
major NASCAR racing events occur on the last weekend of a calendar quarter, the
race event revenues and operating expenses are recognized in the current or
immediately succeeding calendar quarter that corresponds to the calendar quarter
of the prior year in which the same major NASCAR racing event was conducted. The
Company has adopted this accounting policy to help ensure comparability and
consistency between quarterly financial statements of successive years.

    A major NASCAR sanctioned racing event occurred at BMS on the weekends of
March 25-26, 2000 and April 10-11, 1999. A major NASCAR sanctioned racing event
occurred at TMS on the weekends of April 1-2, 2000 and March 27-28, 1999. Also,
a major NASCAR sanctioned racing event is scheduled to occur, and occurred, at
SPR on the weekends of June 24-25, 2000 and June 26-27, 1999. Accordingly, the
revenues and direct expenses of these race events are recognized in the second
quarter of both calendar years, and the reporting periods for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are comparable.

    SPEEDWAY CONDOMINIUMS HELD FOR SALE - The Company has constructed 46
condominiums at AMS and 76 condominiums at TMS, of which 42 and 69,
respectively, have been sold or contracted for sale as of March 31, 2000.
Speedway condominiums held for sale represent 4 condominiums at AMS and 7
condominiums at TMS which are substantially complete and are being marketed.

    DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS AND ACQUISITION LOAN COST AMORTIZATION - Deferred
financing costs are included in other noncurrent assets and are amortized over
the term of the related debt. Acquisition loan cost amortization resulted from
financing costs incurred in obtaining an amended credit facility and acquisition
loan to fund the Company's acquisition of LVMS in December 1998. Associated
deferred financing costs of $4,050,000 were amortized over the loan term which
matured May 28, 1999.

3. INVENTORIES

     Inventories as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 consisted of the
following components (in thousands):
                                                   March 31,  December 31,

4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE

     CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS - At March 31, 2000, the Company had various
construction projects underway to increase and improve grandstand seating
capacity, luxury suites, facilities for fan amenities, and make various other
site improvements at each of its speedways. For example, LMSC and TMS were
nearing completion of construction of 4/10-mile, modern, lighted, dirt track
facilities where nationally-televised events such as World of Outlaws and
Hav-A-Tampa Dirt Late Model Series, as well as AMA and other racing events will
be held annually. In addition, LVMS reconstructed and expanded one of its
dragstrips into a "state-of-the-art" dragway with permanent grandstand seating,
luxury suites, and extensive fan amenities and


                                       9
<PAGE>

facilities. Construction of The Strip at Las Vegas was substantially completed,
with the hosting of its inaugural NHRA-sanctioned Nationals event, in April
2000. The estimated aggregate cost of capital expenditures in 2000 will
approximate $90,000,000.

     PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE - In January 2000, the Company sold the 1.4 million
square-foot Las Vegas Industrial Park and 280 acres of undeveloped land to Las
Vegas Industrial Park, LLC, an entity owned by the Company's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, for approximately $53.3 million (see Note 7). The Company
acquired the industrial park then under construction and land in connection with
its acquisition of LVMS in December 1998. Construction was completed and rental
operations commenced in 1999. The sales price was based on an independent fair
value appraisal and approximates the Company's net carrying value as of December
31, 1999 and selling costs.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

     BANK CREDIT FACILITY -- The Company has a long-term, secured, senior
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by NationsBank, N.A. as
an agent and lender (the Credit Facility). The Credit Facility has an overall
borrowing limit of $250,000,000, with a sub-limit of $10,000,000 for standby
letters of credit, matures in May 2004, and is secured by a pledge of the
capital stock and other equity interests of all material Company subsidiaries.
Interest is based, at the Company's option, upon (i) LIBOR plus .5% to 1.25% or
(ii) the greater of NationsBank's prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus .5%.
At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company had $90,000,000 and
$130,000,000, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

     SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES - At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the
Company had outstanding 8 1/2% senior subordinated notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $250,000,000 (the Senior Notes). The Senior Notes are
unsecured, mature in August 2007, and are redeemable at the Company's option
after August 15, 2002. Semi-annual interest payments are due February 15 and
August 15.

     CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES - At March 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999, the Company had outstanding 5 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures in
the aggregate principal amount of $74,000,000. The debentures are unsecured,
mature on September 30, 2003, are convertible into common stock at the holder's
option at $31.11 per share until maturity and are redeemable at the Company's
option after September 29, 2000. In conversion, 2,378,565 shares of common stock
are issuable (see Note 6). Semi-annual interest payments are due March 31 and
September 30.

     See Note 5 to the December 31, 1999 Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional discussion of the terms and conditions of the bank credit facility,
senior notes and convertible subordinated debentures.

     INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense, net for the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999 includes interest expense of $7,580,000 and $7,037,000, and
interest income of $1,107,000 and $710,000. The Company capitalized interest
costs of $1,013,000 and $943,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings under the bank
revolving credit facility during the three months ended March


                                       10
<PAGE>

31, 2000 and 1999 was 7.3% and 6.3%.

6. PER SHARE DATA

     The computation of diluted loss per share was anti-dilutive for the three
months ended March 31, 1999, and therefore, reported basic and diluted per share
amounts are the same.

     Diluted earnings per share assumes conversion of the convertible debentures
into common stock and elimination of associated interest expense, net of taxes,
on such debt (see Note 5). The following schedule reconciles basic and diluted
earnings per share(dollars and shares in thousands):

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Notes receivable at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 include a note
receivable of $861,000 and $848,000, respectively, due from a partnership in
which the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is a partner. The note
bears interest at 1% over prime, is collateralized by certain partnership land
and is payable on demand. Because the Company does not anticipate repayment of
the note before March 31, 2001, the balance has been classified as a noncurrent
asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

     Notes receivable also include a note receivable from the Company's Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer for $2,103,000 at March 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999. The principal balance of the note represents premiums paid by the Company
under a split-dollar life insurance trust arrangement on behalf of the Chairman,
in excess of cash surrender value. The note bears interest at 1% over prime and
is payable upon demand. Because the Company does not anticipate repayment of the
note before March 31, 2001, the balance has been classified as a noncurrent
asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

     Notes receivable at March 31, 2000 include a note receivable of $13,254,000
due from Las Vegas Industrial Park, LLC, an entity owned by the Company's
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In January 2000, the Company sold the 1.4
million square-foot Las Vegas Industrial Park and 280 acres of undeveloped land
to Las Vegas Industrial Park, LLC for approximately $53.3 million for
approximately $53.3 million paid in cash of $40.0 million and a note receivable
of $13.3 million. The note bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%, is payable upon
demand, and is collateralized by the underlying sold


                                       11
<PAGE>

property. Because the Company does not anticipate repayment of the note before
March 31, 2001, the balance has been classified as a noncurrent asset in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

     From time to time, the Company paid certain expenses and made cash advances
for various corporate purposes on behalf of Sonic Financial Corp. (Sonic
Financial), an affiliate of the Company through common ownership. There were no
amounts outstanding due from Sonic Financial at March 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999.

     Amounts payable to affiliates at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999
includes $2,592,000 for acquisition and other expenses paid on behalf of AMS by
Sonic Financial prior to 1996. Of this amount, approximately $1,800,000 bears
interest at 3.83% per annum. The remainder of the amount bears interest at 1%
over prime. The entire amount is classified as long-term based on expected
repayment dates. Amounts payable to affiliates at March 31, 2000 and December
31, 1999 also include $1,631,000 and $1,729,000 owed to a former LVMS
shareholder and executive officer, who is now a LVMS employee, in equal monthly
payments through December 2003 at 6.4% imputed interest.

8. STOCK OPTION PLANS

     1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN - In first quarter of 2000, the Company granted
options to non-executive officer employees to purchase an aggregate of 140,000
shares at an exercise price per share of $33.81 at award date under the 1994
Stock Option Plan.

     FORMULA STOCK OPTION PLAN - In first quarter of 2000, the Company granted
options to three outside directors to purchase an aggregate of 60,000 shares at
an exercise price per share of $27.13 at award date under the Formula Stock
Option Plan.

9. LITIGATION SETTLEMENT - MAY 1999 IRL RACE EVENT

     On May 1, 1999, during the running of an IRL event at LMSC, an on-track
accident occurred that caused race car debris to enter the spectator seating
area. Three deaths resulted, and all three decedents' estates filed separate
wrongful death lawsuits against SMI, IRL and others in the Superior Court of
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The Estate of Dexter Mobley lawsuit was
filed on May 28, 1999, and the Estates of Randy Pyatte and Jeffrey Patton
lawsuits were filed on August 26, 1999. These suits sought unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages. All three lawsuits were settled in May 2000.
Settlement had no material adverse affect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Consolidated Financial Statements including the Notes thereto.

OVERVIEW

     The Company derives revenues principally from the sale of tickets to
automobile races and other events held at its speedway facilities, from the sale
of food, beverage and souvenirs during such events, from the sale of
sponsorships to companies that desire to advertise or sell their products or
services at such events, and from the licensing of television, cable network and
radio rights to broadcast such events. The Company derives additional revenue
from The Speedway Club at LMSC and The Texas Motor Speedway Club, dining and
entertainment facilities located at the respective speedways, and from Legends
Car operations of 600 Racing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of LMSC. The
Company also derives additional revenue from Motorsports By Mail LLC (MBM), a
wholesale and retail distributor of racing and other sports related souvenir
merchandise and apparel, from Oil-Chem, which produces environmentally friendly
motor oil additives, from Racing Country USA, a nationally syndicated radio
show, from SoldUSA, an internet auction and e-commerce company under
development, and from Wild Man Industries (WMI), a screen printing and
embroidery manufacturer and distributor of wholesale and retail apparel. MBM is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of FLE, and WMI is a division of FLE.

     The Company classifies its revenues as admissions, event related revenue
and other operating revenue. "Admissions" includes ticket sales for all of the
Company's events. "Event related revenue" includes food, beverage and souvenir
sales, luxury suite rentals, sponsorship fees and broadcast rights fees. "Other
operating revenue" includes the two Speedway Clubs, Legends Car, industrial park
rental, MBM, Oil-Chem, RCU, SoldUSA and WMI revenues. The Company's revenue
items produce different operating margins. Sponsorships, broadcast rights,
ticket sales and luxury suite rentals produce higher margins than concessions
and souvenir sales, as well as Legends Car sales, Oil-Chem sales or other
operating revenues.

     The Company classifies its expenses to include direct expense of events and
other direct operating expense, among other things. "Direct expense of events"
principally consists of race purses, sanctioning fees, cost of food, beverage
and souvenir sales, compensation of certain employees and advertising. "Other
direct operating expense" includes the cost of Speedway Club revenues, Legends
Car sales, and industrial park rentals, MBM, Oil-Chem, RCU, SoldUSA and WMI
revenues.

     The Company sponsors and promotes outdoor motorsports events. Weather
conditions affect sales of tickets, concessions and souvenirs, among other
things, at these events. Although the Company sells tickets well in advance of
its larger events, poor weather conditions can have an effect on the Company's
results of operations.

     Significant growth in the Company's revenues will depend on consistent
investment in facilities. The Company has several capital projects underway at
each of its speedways.

     The Company does not believe that its financial performance has been
materially affected by inflation. The Company has been able to mitigate the
effects of inflation by increasing prices.

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS

     In 1999, the Company derived a substantial portion of its total revenues
from admissions and event related revenue attributable to 17 major
NASCAR-sanctioned racing events, five IRL racing events, four NASCAR Craftsman
Truck Series racing events, two major NHRA racing events, and two WOO racing
events. In 2000, the Company currently will sponsor 17 major annual racing
events sanctioned by NASCAR,


                                       14
<PAGE>

including ten Winston Cup and seven Busch Grand National Series racing events.
The Company will also sponsor four Indy Racing Northern Light Series racing
events, two NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series racing events, three major NHRA racing
events, and seven WOO racing events in 2000. As a result, the Company's business
has been, and is expected to remain, highly seasonal.

     In 1999 and 1998, the Company's second and fourth quarters accounted for
68% and 74%, respectively, of its total annual revenues and 80% and 97%,
respectively, of its total annual operating income. The Company sometimes
produces minimal operating income or losses during its third quarter when it
hosts only one major NASCAR race weekend. The concentration of racing events in
the second quarter, and the growth in the Company's operations with attendant
increases in overhead expenses, will tend to increase operating losses or
minimize operating income in future first and third quarters.

     Also, racing schedules may be changed from time to time and can lessen the
comparability of operating results between quarterly results of successive years
and increase or decrease the seasonal nature of the Company's motorsports
business.

     The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year
because of the seasonality discussed above.

     Set forth below is certain comparative summary information with respect to
the Company's scheduled major NASCAR-sanctioned racing events for 2000 and 1999:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

     TOTAL REVENUES. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000
increased by $13.2 million, or 24.8%, to $66.3 million, over such revenues for
the same period in 1999. This improvement was due to increases in all revenue
items, particularly event related and other operating revenue.

     ADMISSIONS. Admissions for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased
by $1.1 million, or 5.4%, over admissions for the same period in 1999. This
increase was due primarily to growth in NASCAR-sanctioned racing events held
during the current quarter. The growth in admissions reflects the continued
increases in attendance and additions to permanent seating capacity, and to a
lesser extent, increases in ticket prices.

     EVENT RELATED REVENUE. Event related revenue for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 increased by $5.2 million, or 18.6%, over such revenue for the
same period in 1999. This increase was due primarily to increases in broadcast
rights and sponsorship fees, and to growth in attendance, including related
increases in concessions and souvenir sales.

     OTHER OPERATING REVENUE. Other operating revenue for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 increased by $6.9 million, or 129.7%, over such revenue for the
same period in 1999. This increase was due to growth in revenues of Oil-Chem
associated with the commencement of media and other promotional campaigns, and
to revenues derived from


                                       15
<PAGE>

apparel and other merchandise sold through outside venues, including FLE, MBM
and WMI, and from The Texas Motor Speedway Club which opened March 26, 1999.

     DIRECT EXPENSE OF EVENTS. Direct expense of events for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 increased by $1.5 million, or 7.4%, over such expense for
the same period in 1999. This increase was due to increased operating costs
associated with the growth in attendance, including related increases in
concessions and souvenir sales, and to higher race purses and sanctioning fees.
As a percentage of admissions and event related revenues combined, direct
expense of events for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was 39.3% compared
to 41.4% for the same period in 1999.

     OTHER DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSE. Other direct operating expense for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $7.0 million, or 199.2%, over
such expense for the same period in 1999. This increase includes expenses
associated with commencement of Oil-Chem's media and other promotional
campaigns. The increase also includes expenses associated with other operating
revenues derived from apparel and other merchandise sold through outside venues,
including FLE, MBM and WMI, from The Texas Motor Speedway Club, and with the
increase in Oil-Chem revenues.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $2.3 million, or 21.5%, over such
expense for the same period in 1999. This increase was attributable to increases
in operating costs associated with the growth and expansion at the Company's
speedways and operations. The increase also reflects the operating growth of WMI
and MBM, which was acquired in July 1999, and of The Texas Motor Speedway Club
which opened in March 1999. As a percentage of total revenues, general and
administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was 19.8%
compared to 20.3% for the same period in 1999.

     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $631,000, or 8.9%, over such
expense for the same period in 1999. This increase results primarily from
additions to property and equipment at the Company's speedways.

     OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the three months ended March 31,
2000 increased by $1.7 million, or 14.5%, over such income for 1999. This
increase was due to the factors discussed above.

     INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Interest expense, net for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 was $6.5 million compared to $6.3 million for the same period in
1999. This increase is due primarily to higher interest rates on the senior
subordinated notes issued in May 1999 and the revolving Credit Facility. Those
increases were offset by a reduction in outstanding borrowings under the Credit
Facility during the current period.

     ACQUISITION LOAN COST AMORTIZATION. Acquisition loan cost amortization of
$2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 represents financing
costs incurred in obtaining interim financing to fund the LVMS acquisition.
Associated deferred financing costs of $4.1 million were amortized over the loan
term which matured May 28, 1999.

     OTHER INCOME. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2000
increased by $30,000 over such income for the same period in 1999. This increase
results primarily from the gain on sale of one TMS condominium in the three
months ended March 31, 2000. No sales of TMS condominiums occurred in the three
months ended March 31, 1999.

     INCOME TAX PROVISION. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was 40% and 41%, respectively.

     NET INCOME. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased
by $2.4 million, or 119.4%, over such income for the same period in 1999. This
increase


                                       16
<PAGE>

was due to the factors discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has historically met its working capital and capital
expenditure requirements through a combination of cash flow from operations,
bank borrowings and other debt and equity offerings. The Company expended
significant amounts of cash in the first quarter of 2000 for improvements and
expansion at its speedway facilities. Significant changes in the Company's
financial condition and liquidity during the three months ended March 31, 2000
resulted primarily from: (1) net cash generated by operations amounting to $18.2
million, (2) capital expenditures amounting to $28.8 million, and (3) reducing
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility by $40.0 million with proceeds
from the sale of the LVMS Industrial Park. At March 31, 2000, the Company had
$90.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the $250.0 million Credit
Facility.

     Management anticipates that cash from operations, and funds available
through the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating
needs through 2000, including planned capital expenditures at its speedway
facilities. Based upon anticipated future growth and financing requirements,
management expects that the Company will, from time to time, engage in
additional financing of a character and in amounts to be determined. While the
Company expects to continue to generate positive cash flows from its existing
speedway operations, and has generally experienced improvement in its financial
condition, liquidity and credit availability, such resources, as well as
possibly others, could be needed to fund the Company's continued growth,
including the continued expansion and improvement of its speedway facilities.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

     Significant growth in the Company's revenues depends, in large part, on
consistent investment in facilities. Therefore, the Company expects to continue
to make substantial capital improvements in its facilities to meet increasing
demand and to increase revenue. Currently, a number of significant capital
projects are underway.

     In 2000, AMS plans to continue improving and expanding its on-site roads
and available parking and make other site improvements. In 2000, BMS added
approximately 13,000 permanent seats, further expanded concessions, restroom and
other fan amenities, and is making other site improvements. LMSC plans to add
approximately 11,000 permanent seats, again featuring stadium-style terrace
seating, and further expand concessions, restroom and other fan amenities, and
make other site improvements. Also, LMSC and TMS are constructing 4/10-mile,
modern, lighted, dirt track facilities. LVMS added approximately 7,000 permanent
seats, further expanded concessions, restroom and other fan amenities, and is
making other site improvements. LVMS also reconstructed and expanded one of its
dragstrips into a "state-of-the-art" dragway with permanent grandstand seating,
luxury suites, and extensive fan amenities and facilities. Subject to
governmental approval, SPR plans to continue improving and expanding its on-site
roads and available parking in 2000, reconfiguring traffic patterns and
entrances to ease congestion and improve traffic flow, as well as make other
site improvements. Pending governmental approvals, in 2000 or 2001, the Company
expects to begin major renovations at SPR, including its ongoing reconfiguration
into a "stadium-style" road racing course, the addition of up to 35,000
grandstand bleacher seats, and improving and expanding concessions, restroom and
other fan amenities facilities. TMS plans to continue improving and expanding
its on-site roads and available parking and making other site improvements. In
2000, after adding approximately 31,000 permanent seats, exclusive of SPR, the
Company's total permanent seating capacity will exceed 710,000 and the total
number of luxury suites will be approximately 666.

     The estimated aggregate cost of capital expenditures in 2000 will
approximate $90 million. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond the
Company's control, may


                                       17
<PAGE>

influence the ultimate costs and timing of various capital improvements at the
Company's facilities, including undetected soil or land conditions, additional
land acquisition costs, increases in the cost of construction materials and
labor, unforeseen changes in the design, litigation, accidents or natural
disasters affecting the construction site and national or regional economic
changes. In addition, the actual cost could vary materially from the Company's
estimates if the Company's assumptions about the quality of materials or
workmanship required or the cost of financing such construction were to change.
Construction is also subject to state and local permitting processes, which if
changed, could materially affect the ultimate cost.

     In addition to expansion and improvements of its existing speedway
facilities and business operations, the Company is continually evaluating new
opportunities that will add value for the Company's stockholders, including the
acquisition and construction of new speedway facilities, the expansion and
development of its existing Legends Cars and Oil-Chem products and markets and
the expansion into complementary businesses.

DIVIDENDS

     The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. Any decision concerning the payment of dividends on the
Common Stock will depend upon the results of operations, financial condition and
capital expenditure plans of the Company, as well as such factors as
permissibility under the 1999 Credit Facility, the Senior Subordinated Notes and
as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may consider relevant. The
1999 Credit Facility and Senior Subordinated Notes preclude the payment of any
dividends.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements" which summarizes certain of the staff's views in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
SAB No. 101, as amended, where applicable, provides for restatement of prior
financial statements or reporting a change in accounting principle no later than
the second quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The
Company has assessed its revenue recognition policies for Speedway Club
membership fees, and expects to report a change in accounting principle under
SAB No. 101 in the second quarter of 2000. However, the change is not expected
to materially impact the Company's financial position or future results of
operations.

SALE OF LAS VEGAS INDUSTRIAL PARK

     In January 2000, the Company sold the 1.4 million square-foot Las Vegas
Industrial Park and 280 acres of undeveloped land to Las Vegas Industrial Park,
LLC, an entity owned by the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for
approximately $53.3 million paid in cash of $40.0 million and a note receivable
of $13.3 million. The sales price was based on an independent fair value
appraisal and approximates the Company's net carrying value as of December 31,
1999 and selling costs.

LITIGATION SETTLEMENT - MAY 1999 IRL RACE EVENT

     On May 1, 1999, during the running of an IRL event at LMSC, an on-track
accident occurred that caused race car debris to enter the spectator seating
area. Three deaths resulted, and all three decedents' estates filed separate
wrongful death lawsuits against SMI, IRL and others in the Superior Court of
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The Estate of Dexter Mobley lawsuit was
filed on May 28, 1999, and the Estates of Randy Pyatte and Jeffrey Patton
lawsuits were filed on August 26, 1999. These suits sought unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages. All three lawsuits were settled in May 2000.
Settlement had no material adverse affect on the


                                       18
<PAGE>

Company's financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     INTEREST RATE RISK. The Company's financial instruments with market risk
exposure consist only of bank revolving credit facility borrowings which are
sensitive to changes in interest rates. A change in interest rates of one
percent on the balance outstanding at March 31, 2000 would cause a change in
interest expense of approximately $900,000. The Company's senior subordinated
notes payable and convertible subordinated debentures are fixed interest rate
debt obligations.

     EQUITY PRICE RISK. The Company has marketable equity securities, all
classified as "available for sale." Such investments are subject to price risk,
which the Company attempts to minimize generally through portfolio
diversification.

     As of and during the three months ended March 31, 2000, borrowings under
bank revolving credit facility decreased $40.0 million to $90.0 million. See
Note 5 to the accompanying March 31, 2000 financial statements for additional
information on the terms and conditions of the Company's debt obligations. There
have been no other significant changes in the Company's interest rate risk or
equity price risk as of and during the three months ended March 31, 2000.

                         SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTE


$13,300,000.00                                                January 12, 2000
                                                     Charlotte, North Carolina

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, LAS VEGAS INDUSTRIAL PARK, LLC, a Nevada limited
liability company ("Maker"), promises to pay to the order of LAS VEGAS MOTOR
SPEEDWAY, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("Noteholder"), at the
Noteholder's office at 5401 East Independence Boulevard, Charlotte, North
Carolina 28218 (or at such other place or places as the Noteholder may
designate), the principal sum of THIRTEEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($13,300,000.00).

      The Subordinated Promissory Note shall bear interest at the LIBOR Rate (as
hereinafter defined) plus two hundred (200) basis points.

      "LIBOR Rate" means, for any day, the rate per annum (rounded upward, if
necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1%) which is equal to: (i) the rate for
deposits in Dollars which appears on the Dow Jones Market Screen 3750 at
approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such day for a term equal to one
month, from time to time, with each change in such rate to be effective as of
the opening of business on the effective date of the change in such rate;
provided, that if the day for which such rate is to be determined is not a
Business Day, the LIBOR Rate for such day shall be such rate for the next
preceding Business Day; provided further, that if such rate is not reported on
Dow Jones Market Screen 3750, such rate shall be the rate determined by the
Noteholder from another recognized source or interbank quotation, divided by
(ii) 1.00 minus the reserve requirement (expressed as a percentage) with respect
to eurocurrency liabilities prescribed for member banks of the Federal Reserve
System by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time
(if and only to the extent that the Lenders have eurocurrency liabilities
subject thereto) and any other similar reserve requirements imposed against a
category of liabilities which includes eurocurrency deposits or a category of
assets which includes eurocurrency loans. If, for any reason, the rate described
in clause (a) (i) is not available, such rate shall be the rate per annum at
which, in the reasonable opinion of the Noteholder, Dollars in an amount
substantially equal to the amount of the applicable Loan are being offered by
leading reference banks for settlement in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time), on the Business Day next preceding the
applicable borrowing date for a term equal to one month.

      "Business Day" means (a) for all purposes other than as set forth in
clause (b) below, any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday on
which banks in Charlotte, North Carolina and New York, New York, are open for
the conduct of their commercial banking business, and (b) with respect to all
notices and determinations in connection with, and payments of principal and
interest on, any LIBOR Rate Loan, any day that is a Business Day described in
clause (a) and that is also a day for trading by and between banks in Dollar
deposits in the London interbank market.


<PAGE>

      "Dollars" or "$" means, unless otherwise qualified, dollars in lawful
currency of the United States.

      This Subordinated Promissory Note shall be payable as follows:

      1.    If not payable sooner, the outstanding principal balance of this
            Subordinated Promissory Note shall be due and payable on July 12,
            2002.

      If any default should occur under the terms of this Subordinated
Promissory Note, the then remaining principal amount and accrued but unpaid
interest shall bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the Prime
Rate plus 3.5% (i.e., three hundred fifty basis points) until such principal and
interest have been paid in full. In the event of any acceleration upon such a
default, this Subordinated Promissory Note shall become immediately due and
payable, without presentation, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby waived by the Maker.

      In the event this Subordinated Promissory Note is not paid when due at any
stated or accelerated maturity, the Maker shall pay, in addition to principal
and interest, all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees
(determined without reference to any statutory presumption and based on actual
costs incurred by the Bank and the standard hourly rates for the attorneys and
paralegals performing the services rendered and associated out-of-pocket costs).

      Interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty
(360) day year for the actual number of days in the interest period.

      This Subordinated Promissory Note is and shall be subordinated in all
respects to the $45,000,000.00 credit facility ("Senior Debt") between the Maker
and First Union National Bank, as Administrative Agent, dated of even date, and
any liens on the property of Maker in favor of Noteholder shall in all respects
be subordinated to any lien now or hereafter placed on the property of Maker in
favor of First Union National Bank, as Administrative Agent. A default by the
Maker with respect to the Senior Debt shall constitute a default under this
Subordinated Promissory Note allowing the Noteholder, at Noteholder's option, to
accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby and to declare the outstanding
principal balance of this Subordinated Promissory Note, and all accrued but
unpaid interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable.

                  Hundred Thousand Dollars ($13,300,000.00) to the order of

                  provides for extensions of credit in a principal amount not

            [  ]  a certain ________________________________ Guaranty dated

                  _____________________ Dollars ($__________) given by Obligor

            [   ] Describe ______________________________________________
                  _____________________________________________________.

            This Deed of Trust also secures payment of all obligations of
            Obligor under the Debt Instrument which arise after the Debt
            Instrument is extended, renewed, modified or amended pursuant to any
            written agreement between Obligor and Beneficiary, and all
            obligations of Obligor under any successor agreement or instrument
            which restates and supersedes the Debt Instrument in its entirety.

                        (b)  Payment and performance of all obligations of
            Trustor under this Deed of Trust; and

                        (c) Payment and performance of all future advances and
            other obligations that Trustor (or any successor in interest to
            Trustor) or Obligor (if different from Trustor) may agree to pay
            and/or perform (whether as principal, surety or guarantor) to or for
            the benefit of Beneficiary, when a writing signed by Trustor (or any
            successor in interest to Trustor) evidences said parties' agreement
            that such advance or obligation be secured by this Deed of Trust.

This Deed of Trust does not secure any obligation which expressly states that it
is unsecured, whether contained in the foregoing Debt Instrument or in any other

                       ----------------------------


                                      3

<PAGE>
acquire an interest in all or any part of the Property will be considered to
have notice of, and will be bound by, the terms of the Debt Instrument described
in Paragraph 2.1(a) and each other agreement or instrument made or entered into
in connection with each of the Secured Obligations. The Debt Instrument, among
other things, provides for the following:

            [ ]   a revolving line of credit to Obligor pursuant to which
                  Obligor may borrow, repay extensions of credit, and re-borrow
                  amounts which have been repaid. The unpaid balance of the
                  revolving line of credit may at certain times be zero. A zero
                  balance does not affect Beneficiary's agreement to make
                  further extensions of credit under the Debt Instrument.
                  Beneficiary's interest under this Deed of Trust will remain in
                  full force and effect notwithstanding a zero balance under the
                  revolving line of credit.

            [X]   an interest rate which may vary from time to time on one or
                  more of the obligations arising under the Debt Instrument.

3.  ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS.
    -------------------

            3.1 Assignment. Trustor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently
and unconditionally assigns to Beneficiary all rents, royalties, issues,
profits, revenue, income and proceeds of the Property, whether now due, past due
or to become due, including all prepaid rents and security deposits
(collectively, the "Rents"), and confers upon Beneficiary the right to collect
such Rents with or without taking possession of the Property. In the event that
anyone establishes and exercises any right to develop, bore for or mine for any
water, gas, oil or mineral on or under the surface of the Property, any sums
that may become due and payable to Trustor as bonus or royalty payments, and any
damages or other compensation payable to Trustor in connection with the exercise
of any such rights, shall also be considered Rents assigned under this
Paragraph. This is an absolute assignment, not an assignment for security only.

            3.2 Grant of License. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph
3.1, Beneficiary hereby confers upon Trustor a license ("License") to collect
and retain the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Event of
Default, as defined in Paragraph 5.2, shall exist and be continuing. If an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary shall have the right,
which it may choose to exercise in its sole discretion, to terminate this
License without notice to or demand upon Trustor, and without regard to the
adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations.

4.  RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES
    --------------------------------

            4.1 Representations and Warranties. Trustor represents and warrants
that Trustor lawfully possesses and holds fee simple title to all of the
Property, unless Trustor's present interest in the Property is described in
EXHIBIT A as a leasehold interest, in which case Trustor lawfully possesses and
holds a leasehold interest in the Property as stated


                                      4

<PAGE>
in EXHIBIT A.
   ---------

            4.2 Taxes, Assessments, Liens and Encumbrances. Trustor shall pay
prior to delinquency all taxes, levies, charges and assessments, including
assessments on appurtenant water stock, imposed by any public or quasi-public
authority or utility company which are (or if not paid, may become) a lien on
all or part of the Property or any interest in it, or which may cause any
decrease in the value of the Property or any part of it. Trustor shall
immediately discharge any lien on the Property which Beneficiary has not
consented to in writing, and shall also pay when due each obligation secured by
or reducible to a lien, charge or encumbrance which now or hereafter encumbers
or appears to encumber all or part of the Property, whether the lien, charge or
encumbrance is or would be senior or subordinate to this Deed of Trust.

            4.3  Damages and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds.
                 -----------------------------------------------

                  (a) Trustor hereby absolutely and irrevocably assigns to
      Beneficiary, and authorizes the payor to pay to Beneficiary, the following
      claims, causes of action, awards, payments and rights to payment
      (collectively, the "Claims"):

                        (i) all awards of damages and all other compensation
            payable directly or indirectly because of a condemnation, proposed
            condemnation or taking for public or private use which affects all
            or part of the Property or any interest in it;

                        (ii) all other awards, claims and causes of action,
            arising out of any breach of warranty or misrepresentation affecting
            all or any part of the Property, or for damage or injury to, or
            defect in, or decrease in value of all or part of the Property or
            any interest in it;

                        (iii)  all proceeds of any insurance policies payable
            because of loss sustained to all or part of the Property; and

                        (iv)  all interest which may accrue on any of the
            foregoing.

                  (b)  Trustor shall immediately notify Beneficiary in writing
            if:

                        (i) any damage occurs or any injury or loss is sustained
            to all or part of the Property, or any action or proceeding relating
            to any such damage, injury or loss is commenced; or

                        (ii) any offer is made, or any action or proceeding is
            commenced, which relates to any actual or proposed condemnation or
            taking of all or part of the Property.

      If Beneficiary chooses to do so, it may in its own name appear in or
      prosecute any


                                      5

<PAGE>
      action or proceeding to enforce any cause of action based on breach of
      warranty or misrepresentation, or for damage or injury to, defect in, or
      decrease in value of all or part of the Property, and it may make any
      compromise or settlement of the action or proceeding. Beneficiary, if it
      so chooses, may participate in any action or proceeding relating to
      condemnation or taking of all or part of the Property, and may join
      Trustor in adjusting any loss covered by insurance.

                  (c) All proceeds of the Claims assigned to Beneficiary under
      this Paragraph shall be paid to Beneficiary. In each instance, Beneficiary
      shall apply those proceeds first toward reimbursement of all of
      Beneficiary's costs and expenses of recovering the proceeds, including
      attorneys' fees. Trustor further authorizes Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's
      option and in Beneficiary's sole discretion, and regardless of whether
      there is any impairment of the Property, (i) to apply the balance of such
      proceeds, or any portion of them, to pay or prepay some or all of the
      Secured Obligations in such order or proportion as Beneficiary may
      determine, or (ii) to hold the balance of such proceeds, or any portion of
      them, in a non-interest- bearing account to be used for the cost of
      reconstruction, repair or alteration of the Property, or (iii) to release
      the balance of such proceeds, or any portion of them, to Trustor. If any
      proceeds are released to Trustor, neither Beneficiary nor Trustee shall be
      obligated to see to, approve or supervise the proper application of such
      proceeds. If the proceeds are held by Beneficiary to be used to reimburse
      Trustor for the costs of restoration and repair of the Property, the
      Property shall be restored to the equivalent of its original condition, or
      such other condition as Beneficiary may approve in writing. Beneficiary
      may, at Beneficiary's option, condition disbursement of the proceeds on
      Beneficiary's approval of such plans and specifications prepared by an
      architect satisfactory to Beneficiary, contractor's cost estimates,
      architect's certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of mechanics
      and materialmen, and such other evidence of costs, percentage of
      completion of construction, application of payments, and satisfaction of
      liens as Beneficiary may reasonably require.

            4.4 Insurance. Trustor shall provide and maintain in force at all
times all risk property damage insurance on the Property and such other type of
insurance on the Property as may be required by Beneficiary in its reasonable
judgment. At Beneficiary's request, Trustor shall provide Beneficiary with a
counterpart original of any policy, together with a certificate of insurance
setting forth the coverage, the limits of liability, the carrier, the policy
number and the expiration date. Each such policy of insurance shall be in an
amount, for a term, and in form and content satisfactory to Beneficiary, and
shall be written only by companies approved by Beneficiary. In addition, each
policy of hazard insurance shall include a Form 438BFU or equivalent loss
payable endorsement in favor of Beneficiary.

            4.5  Maintenance and Preservation of Property.
                 ----------------------------------------

                  (a)  Trustor shall keep the Property in good condition and
      repair and shall not commit or allow waste of the Property.  Trustor shall

      demolish the Property or any part of it, or alter, restore or add to the
      Property, or initiate or allow any change in any zoning or other land use
      classification which affects the Property or any part of it, except with
      Beneficiary's express prior written consent in each instance.

                  (b) If all or part of the Property becomes damaged or
      destroyed, Trustor shall promptly and completely repair and/or restore the
      Property in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with sound
      building practices, regardless of whether or not Beneficiary agrees to
      disburse insurance proceeds or other sums to pay costs of the work of
      repair or reconstruction under Paragraph 4.3.

                  (c) Trustor shall not commit or allow any act upon or use of
      the Property which would violate any applicable law or order of any
      governmental authority, whether now existing or later to be enacted and
      whether foreseen or unforeseen, or any public or private covenant,
      condition, restriction or equitable servitude affecting the Property.
      Trustor shall not bring or keep any article on the Property or cause or
      allow any condition to exist on it, if that could invalidate or would be
      prohibited by any insurance coverage required to be maintained by Trustor
      on the Property or any part of it under this Deed of Trust.

                  (d) If Trustor's interest in the Property is a leasehold
      interest, Trustor shall observe and perform all obligations of Trustor
      under any lease or leases and shall refrain from taking any actions
      prohibited by any lease or leases. Trustor shall preserve and protect the
      leasehold estate and its value.

                  (e) If the Property is agricultural, Trustor shall farm the
      Property in a good and husbandlike manner. Trustor shall keep all trees,
      vines and crops on the Property properly cultivated, irrigated,
      fertilized, sprayed and fumigated, and shall replace all dead or
      unproductive trees or vines with new ones. Trustor shall prepare for
      harvest, harvest, remove and sell any crops growing on the Property.
      Trustor shall keep all buildings, fences, ditches, canals, wells and other
      farming improvements on the Property in first class condition, order and
      repair.

                  (f) Trustor shall perform all other acts which from the
      character or use of the Property may be reasonably necessary to maintain
      and preserve its value.

            4.6 Releases, Extensions, Modifications and Additional Security.
Without affecting the personal liability of any person, including Trustor (or
Obligor, if different from Trustor), for the payment of the Secured Obligations
or the lien of this Deed of Trust on the remainder of the Property for the
unpaid amount of the Secured Obligations, Beneficiary and Trustee are
respectively empowered as follows:

                  (a)  Beneficiary may from time to time and without notice:

                        (i)  release any person liable for payment of any
                             Secured


                                      7

<PAGE>

            Obligation;

                        (ii)  extend the time for payment, or otherwise alter
            the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation;

                        (iii) accept additional real or personal property of any
            kind as security for any Secured Obligation, whether evidenced by
            deeds of trust, mortgages, security agreements or any other
            instruments of security; or

                        (iv)  alter, substitute or release any property securing
            the Secured Obligations.

                  (b)  Trustee may perform any of the following acts when
       requested to do so by Beneficiary in writing:

                        (i) consent to the making of any plat or map of the
            Property or any part of it;

                        (ii) join in granting any easement or creating any
            restriction affecting the Property;

                        (iii) join in any subordination or other agreement
            affecting this Deed of Trust or the lien of it; or

                        (iv) reconvey the Property or any part of it without any
            warranty.

            4.7 Reconveyance. When all of the Secured Obligations have been paid
in full and no further commitment to extend credit continues, Trustee shall
reconvey the Property, or so much of it as is then held under this Deed of
Trust, without warranty to the person or persons legally entitled to it. In the
reconveyance, the grantee may be described as "the person or persons legally
entitled thereto," and the recitals of any matters or facts shall be conclusive
proof of their truthfulness. Neither Beneficiary nor Trustee shall have any duty
to determine the rights of persons claiming to be rightful grantees of any
reconveyance.

            4.8  Compensation and Reimbursement of Costs and Expenses.
                 ----------------------------------------------------

                  (a) Trustor agrees to pay fees in the maximum amounts legally
      permitted, or reasonable fees as may be charged by Beneficiary and Trustee
      when the law provides no maximum limit, for any services that Beneficiary
      or Trustee may render in connection with this Deed of Trust, including
      Beneficiary's providing a statement of the Secured Obligations or
      Trustee's rendering of services in connection with a reconveyance. Trustor
      shall also pay or reimburse all of Beneficiary's and Trustee's costs and
      expenses which may be incurred in rendering


                                      8

<PAGE>

      any such services.

                  (b) Trustor further agrees to pay or reimburse Beneficiary for
      all costs, expenses and other advances which may be incurred or made by
      Beneficiary or Trustee to protect or preserve the Property or to enforce
      any terms of this Deed of Trust, including the exercise of any rights or
      remedies afforded to Beneficiary or Trustee or both of them under
      Paragraph 5.3, whether any lawsuit is filed or not, or in defending any
      action or proceeding arising under or relating to this Deed of Trust,
      including attorneys' fees and other legal costs, costs of any sale of the
      Property and any cost of evidence of title.

                  (c) Trustor shall pay all obligations arising under this
      Paragraph immediately upon demand by Trustee or Beneficiary. Each such
      obligation shall be added to, and considered to be part of, the principal
      of the Secured Obligations, and shall bear interest from the date the
      obligation arises at the rate provided in any instrument or agreement
      evidencing the Secured Obligations. If more than one rate of interest is
      applicable to the Secured Obligations, the highest rate shall be used for
      purposes hereof. If the instrument or agreement evidencing the Secured
      Obligations does not state a rate of interest, interest shall accrue at
      the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

            4.9  Exculpation and Indemnification.
                 -------------------------------

                  (a) Beneficiary shall not be directly or indirectly liable to
      Trustor or any other person as a consequence of any of the following:

                        (i) Beneficiary's exercise of or failure to exercise any
            rights, remedies or powers granted to it in this Deed of Trust;

                        (ii) Beneficiary's failure or refusal to perform or
            discharge any obligation or liability of Trustor under any agreement
            related to the Property or under this Deed of Trust;

                        (iii) Beneficiary's failure to produce Rents from the
            Property or to perform any of the obligations of the lessor under
            any lease covering the Property;

                        (iv) any waste committed by lessees of the Property or
            any other parties, or any dangerous or defective condition of the
            Property; or

                        (v) any loss sustained by Trustor or any third party
            resulting from any act or omission of Beneficiary in operating or
            managing the Property upon exercise of the rights or remedies
            afforded Beneficiary under Paragraph 5.3, unless the loss is caused
            by the wilful misconduct and bad faith of Beneficiary.


                                      9

<PAGE>

      Trustor hereby expressly waives and releases all liability of the types
      described above, and agrees that no such liability shall be asserted
      against or imposed upon Beneficiary.

                  (b) Trustor agrees to indemnify Trustee and Beneficiary
      against and hold them harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities,
      claims, causes of action, judgments, court costs, attorneys' fees and
      other legal expenses, cost of evidence of title, cost of evidence of
      value, and other costs and expenses which either may suffer or incur in
      performing any act required or permitted by this Deed of Trust or by law
      or because of any failure of Trustor to perform any of its obligations.
      This agreement by Trustor to indemnify Trustee and Beneficiary shall
      survive the release and cancellation of any or all of the Secured
      Obligations and the full or partial release and/or reconveyance of this
      Deed of Trust.

            4.10 Defense and Notice of Claims and Actions. At Trustor's sole
expense, Trustor shall protect, preserve and defend the Property and title to
and right of possession of the Property, and the security of this Deed of Trust
and the rights and powers of Beneficiary and Trustee created under it, against
all adverse claims. Trustor shall give Beneficiary and Trustee prompt notice in
writing if any claim is asserted which does or could affect any of these
matters, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which alleges or relates to
any such claim.

            4.11 Substitution of Trustee. From time to time, Beneficiary may
substitute a successor to any Trustee named in or acting under this Deed of
Trust in any manner now or later to be provided at law, or by a written
instrument executed and acknowledged by Beneficiary and recorded in the office
of the recorder of the county where the Property is situated. Any such
instrument shall be conclusive proof of the proper substitution of the successor
Trustee, who shall automatically upon recordation of the instrument succeed to
all estate, title, rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Trustee, without
conveyance from it.

            4.12 Site Visits, Observation and Testing. Beneficiary shall have
the right at any reasonable time to enter and visit the Property for the
purposes of performing appraisals, observing the Property, taking and removing
soil or groundwater samples, and conducting tests on any part of the Property.
Beneficiary shall have no duty, however, to visit or observe the Property or to
conduct tests, and no site visit, observation or testing by Beneficiary shall
impose any liability on Beneficiary. In no event shall any site visit,
observation or testing by Beneficiary be a representation that Hazardous
Substances are or are not present in, on or under the Property, or that there
has been or shall be compliance with any law, regulation or ordinance pertaining
to Hazardous Substances or any other applicable governmental law. Neither
Trustor nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation
or testing by Beneficiary. Beneficiary owes no duty of care to protect Trustor
or any other party against, or to inform Trustor or any other party of, any
Hazardous Substances or any other adverse condition affecting the Property.


                                      10

Beneficiary shall give Trustor reasonable notice before entering the Property.
Beneficiary shall make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Trustor's
use of the Property in exercising any rights provided in this Paragraph. For
purposes of this Paragraph, "Hazardous Substance" means any substance, material
or waste which is or becomes designated, classified or regulated as being
"toxic" or "hazardous" or which is or become similarly designated, classified or
regulated under any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance.

monthly pay to Beneficiary an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual
costs of taxes and assessments on the Property plus the estimated next insurance
premiums on policies of insurance required under Paragraph 4.4 of this Deed of
Trust divided by the number of months between the date of computation and the
date the insurance premiums are due. Beneficiary may release the amounts paid
under this Paragraph to Trustor for payment by Trustor of such taxes,
assessments and insurance premiums, or Beneficiary may use such amounts to
itself pay such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, at Beneficiary's
option.

    --------------------------------------------

            5.1  Accelerating Transfers
                 ----------------------

                  (a) "Accelerating Transfer" means any sale, contract to sell,
      conveyance, encumbrance, lease, or other transfer, whether voluntary,
      involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any material part
      of the Property or any interest in it, including any transfer or exercise
      of any right to drill for or to extract any water (other than for
      Trustor's own use), oil, gas or other hydrocarbon substances or any
      mineral of any kind on or under the surface of the Property. If Trustor is
      a corporation, "Accelerating Transfer" also means any transfer or
      transfers of shares possessing, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent
      (50%) of the voting power. If Trustor is a partnership, "Accelerating
      Transfer" also means withdrawal or removal of any general partner,
      dissolution of the partnership under Nevada law, or any transfer or
      transfers of, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent (50%) of the
      partnership interests. If Trustor is a limited liability company,
      "Accelerating Transfer" also means withdrawal or removal of any manager,
      dissolution of the limited liability company under Nevada law, or any
      transfer or transfers of, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent (50%)
      of the membership interests.

                  (b) Trustor agrees that Trustor shall not make any
      Accelerating Transfer, unless the transfer is preceded by Beneficiary's
      express written consent to the particular transaction and transferee.
      Beneficiary may withhold such consent in its sole discretion. If any
      Accelerating Transfer occurs, Beneficiary in its sole discretion may
      declare all of the Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable,
      and Beneficiary and Trustee may invoke any rights and remedies provided


                                      11

<PAGE>

      by Paragraph 5.3 of this Deed of Trust.

            5.2 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events, at the option of Beneficiary, shall constitute an event of
default ("Event of Default") under this Deed of Trust:

                  (a) Obligor fails to make any payment, when due, under the
      Debt Instrument (after giving effect to any applicable grace period), or
      any other default occurs under and as defined in the Debt Instrument or in
      any other instrument or agreement evidencing any of the Secured
      Obligations and such default continues beyond any applicable cure period;

                  (b)  Trustor fails to make any payment or perform any
      obligation which arises under this Deed of Trust;

                  (c) Any representation or warranty made in connection with
      this Deed of Trust or the Secured Obligations proves to have been false or
      misleading in any material respect when made; or

                  (d) Any default occurs under any other deed of trust on all or
      any part of the Property, or under any obligation secured by such deed of
      trust, whether such deed of trust is prior to or subordinate to this Deed
      of Trust.

            5.3 Remedies. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Beneficiary and Trustee shall be entitled to invoke any and all of the
rights and remedies described below, as well as any other rights and remedies
authorized by law. All of such rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and the
exercise of any one or more of them shall not constitute an election of
remedies.

                  (a) Beneficiary may declare any or all of the Secured
      Obligations to be due and payable immediately.

                  (b) Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent
      jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver for the Property.

                  (c) Beneficiary, in person, by agent or by court-appointed
      receiver, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any
      part of the Property, and in its own name or in the name of Trustor sue
      for or otherwise collect any and all Rents, including those that are past
      due, and may also do any and all other things in connection with those
      actions that Beneficiary may in its sole discretion consider necessary and
      appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. Such other
      things may include: entering into, enforcing, modifying, or canceling
      leases on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may consider proper;
      obtaining and evicting tenants; fixing or modifying Rents; completing any
      unfinished construction; contracting for and making repairs and
      alterations; performing such


                                      12

<PAGE>
      acts of cultivation or irrigation as necessary to conserve the value of
      the Property; and preparing for harvest, harvesting and selling any crops
      that may be growing on the property. Trustor hereby irrevocably
      constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact to perform
      such acts and execute such documents as Beneficiary in its sole discretion
      may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures,
      including endorsement of Trustor's name on any instruments. Trustor agrees
      to deliver to Beneficiary all books and records pertaining to the
      Property, including computer-readable memory and any computer hardware or
      software necessary to access or process such memory, as may reasonably be
      requested by Beneficiary in order to enable Beneficiary to exercise its
      rights under this Paragraph.

                  (d) Either Beneficiary or Trustee may cure any breach or
      default of Trustor, and if it chooses to do so in connection with any such
      cure, Beneficiary or Trustee may also enter the Property and/or do any and
      all other things which it may in its sole discretion consider necessary
      and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. Such other
      things may include: appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding
      which purports to affect the security of, or the rights or powers of
      Beneficiary or Trustee under, this Deed of Trust; paying, purchasing,
      contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of lien
      which in Beneficiary's or Trustee's sole judgment is or may be senior in
      priority to this Deed of Trust, such judgment of Beneficiary or Trustee to
      be conclusive as among the parties to this Deed of Trust; obtaining
      insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required to
      be carried under this Deed of Trust; otherwise caring for and protecting
      any and all of the Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants,
      contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Beneficiary or
      Trustee. Beneficiary and Trustee may take any of the actions permitted
      hereunder either with or without giving notice to any person.

                  (e) Beneficiary may bring an action in any court of competent
      jurisdiction to foreclose this instrument or to obtain specific
      enforcement of any of the covenants or agreements of this Deed of Trust.

                  (f) Beneficiary may cause the Property to be sold by Trustee
      as permitted by applicable law. Before any such trustee's sale,
      Beneficiary or Trustee shall give such notice of default and election to
      sell as may then be required by law. When all time periods then legally
      mandated have expired, and after such notice of sale as may then be
      legally required has been given, Trustee shall sell the Property, either
      as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as Trustee may
      determine, at a public auction to be held at the time and place specified
      in the notice of sale. Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall have any
      obligation to make demand on Trustor before any trustee's sale. From time
      to time in accordance with then applicable law, Trustee may, and in any
      event at Beneficiary's request shall, postpone any trustee's sale by
      public announcement at the time and place noticed for that sale. At any
      trustee's sale, Trustee shall sell to the highest bidder at public auction
      for cash in lawful money of the United States. Any person, including


                                      13

<PAGE>
      Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may purchase at the trustee's sale.
      Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser(s) a deed or deeds
      conveying the property being sold without any covenant or warranty
      whatsoever, express or implied. The recitals in any such deed of any
      matters or facts, including any facts bearing upon the regularity or
      validity of any trustee's sale, shall be conclusive proof of their
      truthfulness. Any such deed shall be conclusive against all persons as to
      the facts recited in it.

            5.4  Application of Sale Proceeds and Rents.
                 --------------------------------------

                  (a) Beneficiary and Trustee shall apply the proceeds of any
      sale of the Property in the following manner: first, to pay the portion of
      the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs, fees and expenses of
      the sale, including costs of evidence of title in connection with the
      sale; and, second, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and
      proportions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may choose. The
      remainder, if any, shall be remitted to the person or persons entitled
      thereto.

                  (b) Beneficiary shall apply any and all Rents collected by it,
      and any and all sums other than proceeds of any sale of the Property which

      future or other instance.

                  (b) If any of the events described below occurs, that event

      and performed); or impair the security of this Deed of Trust; or

      construed as an affirmation by Beneficiary of any tenancy, lease or
      option, or a subordination of the lien of this Deed of Trust:

            6.2  Powers of Beneficiary and Trustee.
                 ---------------------------------

                  (a) Trustee shall have no obligation to perform any act which
      it is empowered to perform under this Deed of Trust unless it is requested
      to do so in writing and is reasonably indemnified against loss, cost,
      liability and expense.

                  (b) Beneficiary may take any of the actions permitted under

      Deed of Trust.

                  (c) From time to time, Beneficiary or Trustee may apply to any
      court of competent jurisdiction for aid and direction in executing the

            security;

                        (iii) Beneficiary may apply any security now or later
            held for the Debt Instrument in any order that Beneficiary in its

                        (iv) Beneficiary may release Obligor of its liability

            or more guarantors or endorsers of the Debt Instrument.

                  (b)  Nonborrower Trustor waives:

                        (i) Any right it may have to require Beneficiary to
            proceed against Obligor, proceed against or exhaust any security
            held from Obligor, or pursue any other remedy in Beneficiary's power
            to pursue;

                        (ii) Any defense based on any legal disability of
            Obligor, any discharge or limitation of the liability of Obligor to
            Beneficiary, whether consensual or arising by operation of law or
            any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency, or
            debtor-relief proceeding, or from any other cause, or any claim that
            Nonborrower Trustor's obligations exceed or are more burdensome than
            those of Obligor;

                        (iii) All presentments, demands for performance, notices
            of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of
            dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Deed of Trust and of the

<PAGE>



            of new or additional indebtedness of Obligor, and demands and
            notices of every kind;

                        (iv) Any defense based on or arising out of any defense
            that Obligor may have to the payment or performance of the Debt

            have against Obligor, and all rights to participate in any security
            now or later to be held by Beneficiary for the Debt Instrument.

                  (c) Nonborrower Trustor assumes full responsibility for

      and all other circumstances affecting Obligor's ability to pay and perform
      its obligations to Beneficiary, and agrees that Beneficiary shall have no
      duty to disclose to Nonborrower Trustor any information which Beneficiary
      may receive about Obligor's financial condition, business operations, or
      any other circumstances bearing on its ability to perform.

                  (d) For purposes of this Paragraph 6.3, all references to the
      Debt Instrument shall also include any instrument or agreement executed by
      Obligor subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust which is secured by
      this Deed of Trust in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2.1(c).

            6.4 Merger. No merger shall occur as a result of Beneficiary's
acquiring any other estate in or any other lien on the Property unless
Beneficiary consents to a merger in writing.

            6.6  Applicable Law.  This Deed of Trust shall be governed by Nevada
law.

            6.7 Successors in Interest. The terms, covenants and conditions of
this Deed of Trust shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
successors and assigns of the parties. However, this Paragraph does not waive
the provisions of Paragraph 5.1.

            6.8 Interpretation. Whenever the context requires, all words used in
the singular will be construed to have been used in the plural, and vice versa,
and each gender will include any other gender. The captions of the sections of
this Deed of Trust are for


                                      17

<PAGE>
convenience only and do not define or limit any terms or provisions. The word
"include(s)" means "include(s), without limitation," and the word "including"
means "including, but not limited to." The word "obligations" is used in its
broadest and most comprehensive sense, and includes all primary, secondary,
direct, indirect, fixed and contingent obligations. It further includes all
principal, interest, prepayment charges, late charges, loan fees and any other
fees and charges accruing or assessed at any time, as well as all obligations to
perform acts or satisfy conditions. No listing of specific instances, items or
matters in any way limits the scope or generality of any language of this Deed
of Trust. The Exhibits to this Deed of Trust are hereby incorporated in this
Deed of Trust. "NRS" means Nevada Revised Statutes, and references to particular
sections of NRS includes any amendment or recodification of such section.

            6.9 In-House Counsel Fees. Whenever Trustor is obligated to pay or
reimburse Beneficiary or Trustee for any attorneys' fees, those fees shall
include the allocated costs for services of in-house counsel.

equitable, it may now or hereafter have to require marshaling of assets or to
direct the order in which any of the Property will be sold in the event of any
sale under this Deed of Trust, including any rights provided by NRS 100.040 and
100.050. Each successor and assign of Trustor, including any holder of a lien
subordinate to this Deed of Trust, by acceptance of its interest or lien agrees
that it shall be bound by the above waiver, as if it had given the waiver
itself.

            6.11 Severability. If any provision of this Deed of Trust should be
held unenforceable or void, that provision shall be deemed severable from the
remaining provisions and in no way affect the validity of this Deed of Trust
except that if such provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then
Beneficiary may, at its option, declare all Secured Obligations immediately due
and payable.

            6.12 Notices. Trustor hereby requests that a copy of notice of
default and notice of sale be mailed to it at the address set forth below. That
address is also the mailing address of Trustor as debtor under the Nevada
Uniform Commercial Code. Beneficiary's address given below is the address for
Beneficiary as secured party under the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code.

           6.13 Incorporation of Certain Nevada Covenants. The following
covenants, Nos. 1, 2 (an amount equal to the full replacement value), 3, 4 (the
default rate provided for in the Debt Instrument), 6, 7 (a reasonable), 8 and 9
of NRS 107.030, are hereby adopted and made a part of this Deed of Trust,
provided, that with respect to covenant Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the event of any
conflict between such covenants and the Debt Instrument or the other provisions
of this Deed of Trust, the Debt Instrument or such other provisions shall
prevail. Upon any Event of Default by Trustor hereunder, Beneficiary may (a)
declare all sums secured immediately due and payable without demand or notice
and/or (b) have a receiver appointed as a matter of right without regard to the
sufficiency


                                      18

<PAGE>
of the Property or any other security or guaranty and without any showing as
required by NRS 107.100. All remedies provided in this Deed of Trust are
distinct and cumulative to any other right or remedy under this Deed of Trust or
afforded by law or equity and may be exercised concurrently, independently or
successively. A sale of Property conducted pursuant to Covenants Nos. 6, 7 and 8

separate parcels and in such order as Beneficiary or Trustee may determine.
