F****** NIMBYS!!!

This has nothing to do with noise, or the environment, or any other "nusience " issue. A developer wants the land and is trying to make the track's business unsustainable by whatever means are available.

My guess is the track isn't the best of neighbors (some are, some are definitely not) so finding locals to be the front man isn't hard while a developer is paying the bills. I think that whomever is paying the legal fees or otherwise bankrolling litigation needs to be listed at the tip of any filling.

 

Now you're hitting below the Bible Belt

 

Drive them out, build more shi###ty houses

 

As a general rule, guys who'll go to the track, are going to race on the street. But if it closes, I doubt they'll get a replacement in California.

Both road courses in the Denver area closed years ago, the one replacement is an hour east out on the rolling plains. The last I saw, Bandimere (the drag strip) was talking of their new location being out past DIA somewhere.

 

US30 Dragway... Went there in the late 60's (I grew up in Glenwood,) the big boys raced there back then.

 

I would LOVE to see the track owners say "We agree that the time has come for the track to close. That is why we've come to the decision to develop the land for much-needed low-income housing."

 

haven't heard that stuff here in NC when the speedway added a 4 lane drag strip next to the speedway.

maybe some minor whining but not much.
