Pinnacle Race Course
Pinnacle Race Course is a failed attempt to start a new thoroughbred horse racing track in Huron Township, Michigan, southwest of Detroit off of Interstate 275.〔Detroit Free Press, ''"Scandals derail 30-year political career for Ficano"'', by John Wisely, page 8A, August 7, 2014〕 The track was just south of the Detroit Metro Airport, in Wayne County. The track was built on land owned by Wayne County, and the county lost $36 million when it failed.〔
==Development and opening==
The track was described by Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano as an experiment in cutting red tape. Ficano said, "I see this as an experiment to see if we can deliver speed, speed, speed..."〔Detroit Free Press, ''Audit says Wayne Co. blew $35.2M on plan'', by John Wisely, (Jul 27, 2011), page A.3 〕 Ficano was convinced by Republic Bancorp founder Jerry Campbell that a track would be viable in Wayne County, and would generate 2,300 permanent jobs.〔 Based on this Wayne County sold the developer 320 acres of land for $1, and spent $26 million building roads, and installing sewer and water to the site.〔
The track opened on July 18, 2008. The track was rushed into operation in the summer of 2008 to replace Muskegon's Great Lakes Downs on the Michigan racing schedule. Magna Entertainment Corporation closed Great Lakes Downs in November 2007 after years of financial losses.
