The Green Flag Committee has unveiled the second feature of its proposal for the NASCAR Hall of Fame — the Tower of Champions Theater. “It is a high-tech and robotic ‘Interactive Amphitheater’ with the flexibility of presenting any number of highly entertaining NASCAR-themed productions,” David Exline, the committee’s creative director, said in a prepared statement. The staging facility will have a towering glass structure of two “magazine stacks” that house an ever-changing selection of vehicles from NASCAR races. The towering cars would be lit from inside and situated near the attraction’s main entrance. The attraction is designed to allow frequent vehicle exchanges throughout the operating year. An automated conveyance system pulls each car from storage to a stage within the tower. Every movement is automated and can be seen from inside and outside the hall. The committee, the group working to get the Hall of Fame for Daytona Beach, previously revealed its Heritage Walk Gallery, an interactive center with a media montage presentation about NASCAR.(Daytona Beach News Journal), more info on the NASCAR HOF bids, other Hall of Fame and Museum news and links, see my Hall of Fame News and Links page.(7-27-2005)
