#8900 I probably wont ever drag but what the heck?
I live about three miles east of Big Daddy Don Garlit's Drag racing museum. there is a bout ten acres south of him, the thing is, it runs almost a half mile, right next to the interstate. Everytime I drive by, I wish he could buy all that and open up a track. I know it would get used, if only it was an eighth mile track. The closest track is over an hour and a half away. For kids like me, that's a long drive to go slow. But if there was a closer track, we could pack it Friday and Saturday night.
Another track up here- in Jersey, the famous Old Bridge Twsp. Race Way Park in Englishtown NJ has been fighting with the townships board for years. They are crazyily fighting to close this famous track down. I can't understand it as the revenue that R.W.P. generates is great for the surrounding towns whenever there is an event going on. It is all being driven by developers greed, and potential individual property tax revenues that would be had if this land was developed. I can't stand when they force a track to close and then cry about kids who street race. Leave the tracks alone and champion the existing ones and you would help eliminate this problem.
Keep the signatures coming folks !
Done! Over 9000 sigs on the petition, I hope it helps
They (Mohegan Sun Casino's) are evidently trying to bring this track back into operation and are being fought against......
I saw this last nite as I havn't heard anything about Conneticut Drag Way in years.
