At this point, there is rumor that the Don Williamson is going to build one North of Flint.

He already owns one in Wisconsin, so I think that he has some experience.

If the track was nice, would you visit it?

BTW, it will not be in the getto. In fact not even in Flint, it would be Clio/Mt Morris area.

I live in Hemlock so it takes me around 50 minutes to get the car to Stanton. Not sure if Clio would be any closer or not. What exit would it be off? It takes me 20 minutes just to get on 675.

Sounds good to me. And I don't care if it's in the ghetto. It's not like I'm gonna live there.

Yeah I'd go. Just hope they don't do the gravel pits like @ Lapeer.

The Clio exit is 131 off of I-75, I believe Mt. Morris is 126.

Yes, there is a sign advertising it right off I-75... there will be alot of things going on there, and one of the spots on the sign says "auto racing"

Im from clio, Clio is NOT Ghetto!!!! Mt. morris is pretty ghetto, but where the track would be is not in town of mt morris, It would be right off I-75 , and there is a truck stop there, and is a better place...

From what I hear they are not going to start any of this until that velvet touch that is there is taken down...

and yes it it auto city that did drifting this summer..

Whatever road it was that leads up to 1BADLS1 racing, (clio rd?) WAS GHETTO AS HELL. I have never in my life seen so many vacant buildings. Vacant shopping centers ect. One corner had 3 vacant gas stations and the one that was open was beat to ****. I sure hope its not in that area!

I'd be there, no doubt. Perfect spot for another track in michigan.

I hate driving all the way over to Stanton even though it's a nice track. It's too far away from everything.

Like others said, you don't have to live there, you just want to race there. They are not going to build a new drag strip in a nice area anyways. People living around it would not put up with the noise.

Clio may be a little ghetto, but Stanton is out in boonyville.
