Excellent point! The wealthy wouldn't stand for it for one minute. There'd be lawyers, public hearings and politicking going on like crazy.

The poor, especially if they don't own their home, have little to fight back with. They may have issues such as how to pay for the week's groceries as opposed to noise, etc.

It's a goddamed shame, really. Watch where they site nuclear waste facilites, solid waste incinerators, landfills, prisons, etc. It's NEVER near the rich folks.



Life's like a **** sandwich. The more bread you have, the less
**** you have to taste. True, true.

RRRR

 

I'm definitely down with the idea. If it is close to the Eway and a halfway decent facility, ill take it! I just dont want to have to worry about getting jumped when im trying to enjoy a day at the track!

 

Quasar,

How far is that from us in the Sterling Heights area? hour? hour and a half?

 

If i remember correctly Williamson had tried to open a drag strip in that area but do to zoning issues the idea was dropped, Now i believe he is opening a indoor race track, motorcross etc... i could be wrong on this, has anyone heard anything new? I know flint street racers would love to see this happen, and if decent i could see this being a very good investemnt on williams part... I do believe he also concidered purchasing AutoCity a couple years ago also, but didnt happen for some reason.


Later,
Greg

 

Thanks for someone finally agreeing with me, but what do you mean by 5 years behind? lol. I would love to move out in the "boonies" WAY more peaceful, do whatever you want, make all kinds of noise, and no one cares! and you would usually have alot more land...

I was in North Branch today.... Id love to move out there somwhere

 

Yeah, I guess you're right. Clio is not Ghetto.

It's more like a small town area. It's just that things are creeping up that way.

Right now it's no where near ghetto.

I shouldn't have referred to it as "a little ghetto", it's just that things aren't as nice there as they used to be.

From m-59/Van Dyke, it would probably be 60 minutes. Milan is right around 60 minutes from me with no traffic, but its a pain in the *** drive switching 20 different freeways. A track like this right off 75 would be great. It would benifit us north of the city more than those on the west side or downriver.

 

I probably would... it would be about the same distance from my house as milan.

 

I'd check it out, but like Killerjello, I'd be interested in seeing another road race track. Maybe we could make one? Locate it off I69, north of Durand, or something.

 

Eric would probley set up a cot and live there!

So yeah I'd go.

 

I'd be there if it was cheap. Definetly if they had brackets I'd do that as well since my car is too slow

 

Funny how time changes things. Why, it wasn't but ten years ago that a "pretty fast" factory car was one that could bang off a 14.0 second quarter mile. Even the real fast ones, the Grand Nationals and the turbo TA's were high-13's.

Hot rod Mustangs were whipping off 13.8's on nitrous, and mid-13's were enough to win most street fights. Tuned Port was still cool, but LT1 was the WORD for high-tech performance nirvana.

 

Classic, I will have to keep that one.
