Solving The Problem

A local opportunity that I identified earlier was that street racing was a major issue and actually claiming lives. This is an issue because people love to race and people that have the itch to race do not have a convenient and safe place to race. Obviously, it is not very easy to make a safe racetrack, especially with all the expenses that it can occur. The demand is apparent with all of the street racing that is occurring. To solve this issue, I would want to give people a safe and convenient place to race. The product I would be giving people would be not only a place to race, but a place to come and watch racing. Now, with the Tampa area being so populated, there are already a few race tracks around, but almost all are at least a thirty minute drive from the most densely populated areas. One of the most convenient areas of the area is the airport. It is nearly twenty minutes or less from almost anyone that lives in the area, and there is a decent amount of land in the area that could be used to make a racetrack. If a racetrack is put in, it would have the opportunity to draw families and crowds of people on nights when there is little to do. The only problem would be the cost of opening a racetrack and all of the insurance that would have to go along with possible injuries to the racers. In order to attract people, I would have to sell racing tickets to watch for cheap, or maybe even free to watch, and as low as a fee as possible for people to race. I think this would be a great opportunity for the area and cut down on street racing that is occurring in the Tampa area.
