This seems like such a fuckass vague and local item that I as a non-american experience hopelessness. I must now go and drink a cup of tsatsiki to cool down, and then for a vigorous apple.

Is it monochromatic, or is it possessed of many colors?
Does it have moving parts?

And I'm not going to include that 2nd question, since we already established it's not mechanical or organic, and therefore couldn't have moving parts.
2 Questions Left

Time's up. You were 2 questions short, but I doubt if you would have gotten it anyway. The correct answers is:
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Speedway, Indiana.
And the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the reason why I am ending this contest now, because I am leaving for Indiana tomorrow for the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday.
Whoever wants to do another SSA can take it. It's up for grabs.

Of course it was the indianapolis motor speedway. Silly us. Granted, I know of no human being in the world save Tony Stewart and/or Dale Jarrett who would classify it as a national landmark, but that simply is a measure of my lack of the need, the need for speed.

It's a national landmark according to the government, if that counts for anything...
And it is home to the largest single day sporting event in the world (nearly a million spectators), eclipsing the Super Bowl easily.

And probably the home of the largest number of empty seats over a 358-day period, too.
