I think every major city needs a place to race. Up here in Minnesota it happens also, we had a reporter at the races also. He was there three weekends in a row to show that "Red Rock Racing Strip" was there before the F&F came out. But tragedy struck, the third weekend when the reporter was there. A 15 year old, in mommy and daddy's brand new stolen Yukon, pulled out in front of a race and a crotch-rocket t-boned him. The biker got launched and went through my friend's windshield and the bike hit my car. The biker died instantly and the reporter got it all.
Now the city is planning to change the road into a "road with many curves(city officials)."
Sorry to go on and on and on, but it happens all over the place. I agree that you need a strip and So do we. Time to push it through to the state legislature.
