Mrs. Reagan also said that friends of former President Ron-jald Reagan no longer are invited 4 to their California home because Reagan does not recognize them. jfThe former president no longer tt swims or takes walks, she said. She commented during a re- cent conversation with C-Span executive Brian Lamb at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif.

The jrsession was part of the cable net-Jwork's series "American Presidents: Life Portraits," which has -aired throughout the year. Mrs. Reagan's interview currently is being broadcast. In the interview, Mrs. Rea-fgan explained how the former president, without assistance, wrote his own letter to the American people in 1994 disclosing he had been diagnosed with Alz-theimer's Disease, a progressive condition in which the brain de-jjgenerates, causing severe loss and dementia.

She was asked what she has learned about the disease over the past five years, "That it is probably the Jworst disease you can ever have," she replied. "Because you lose jcontact and you're not able to share. In our case, to share all of those wonderful memories that Jwe have." Alzheimer's disease is the tlburth leading cause of death Jamong adult Americans. An esti-'mated four million Americans Shave the disease. Mrs.

Reagan said her hus-Jband's public acknowledgment helped lift the stigma many peo-5ple associated with Alzheimer's. Promoters expect Smajor differences between old, new racetracks -Al Jand the new one. i If City Council gave the go- jahead for the project and to sell the land, all race car drivers 4 would be required to have track-is- sued mufflers on all cars. "This would lower the noise 10 rto 15 percent below what it was at Road, and we'd be well below the city's required noise limit," Weeks said. The Youngs said they estimate that it will initially cost them about $2.5 million to $3 million to develop the land.

ri "That's just an initial estimate," Paul Young said. "And we haven't gotten to that point of whether we would lease or buy the land. We're Jjust in the very beginning stages of chinning." t-A Mayor Sitnick said the Youngs did approach her about trying to locate a new racetrack site, and that they were told that the city 5 would work with them through the usual channels, which means going through City Council for approval. "We told them that we were not in the real estate business, and we did not offer them land or go look-Jing for land," Sitnick said. "But they were told that we would be happy to work with them, Jjust like we would with any developer," Sitnick said.

"And we will evaluate it through council." The 54-acre site, which is bor-tdered on the northeast by Airport Road, on the southwest by the French Broad River, and on the northwest and southeast by the Buncombe-Henderson county line, is part of more than 600 acres owned by the city that includes the jAsheville Regional Airport. Asheville Airport Director Mike jArmour also has expressed concern because he said the property may be needed for future development of the airport. i But not all nearby neighbors are opposed to the idea of a racetrack in. "I'm not really a racing fan, but think it'd be great for this area. We need some growth here, and I think the location is good for people in Hendersonville and Asheville," said Chris Gueho, 32, who lives off U.S.
