It wasn't yet daybreak, but at least a dozen Oaklawn Park employees were gathered in the cluttered hallway that runs through the racetrack's business offices. Rock had been summoned there, but he was disappointed to find there was nothing more for him to see than the world's most expensive go-cart.
According to Jason, the track's media liaison, a high-tech company had lent it to the track as a promotion of some sort. It was clear to Rock that either a great deal of technology had gone into the go-cart's construction or that someone had put considerable effort into making it look that way. It was no larger than a child's toy wagon and made of what looked like common computer components, each connected by intricate and colorful wiring.
Rock was disinterested.
"I hate to tell you, Jason, but I'm not going to write a story about a million-dollar go-cart," he said. "I mean, it is noteworthy, but it doesn't belong on a sports page."
