The Golf Discount store has been demolished, and on Tuesday, Wappelhorst got approval from the city's Planning and Zoning board to use the property as a parking lot serving both facilities. The city council is expected to consider the request at the June 7 meeting.
Big St. Charles Motorsports hosts events nearly every weekend with a live band every Saturday, said Wappelhorst. The extra parking lot space will give them more room for those events.
