If I'm not mistaken this has been going on for a few years now, it was overturned a few times

Throw in a couple decent concession stands that don't totally suck paying a cut, and while nobody' is going to get rich, it'd be decent small business for someone on that account alone.  |
Every time I've been to Irwindale, they have been packed. I don't see how they couldn't pull it off. I prefer the 1/4 anyways.

Then again, the court found that the steel factory had a useful community purpose. They prob wouldn't for the race track. Don't remember the elements off hand...

So giving a location for thousands of car to go race legally isnt a useful community purpose? Its not new, states all over the country would fund drag nights and abandoned air strips, closed down drags strips etc. And those states were reporting a 40-50% drop in illegal street racing. Pretty useful to me...

I hate utilitarianism. The principle should be prior property rights period. The "noise rights" belong to first comers.

Tell that to the people who ran Carlsbad Raceway. It got closed down because houses were built near the track and then the people who bought those houses complained about the noise. |

That type of shit pisses me off. If you do not want to deal with the noise then do not buy a property by a loud venue. I do not care if that was the only thing you could afford or you did not have kids when you first moved in. You should have thought about that stuff when you bought the property not just complain later. If you can sleep when a loud train passes by a property then do not buy a place by the tracks.

It wasn't just because of that, the city wanted to develope the land but it helped them close down the track.
I heard a while back that the new lady in charge at CSW doesn't like the Street Legals and this may be there way of shutting it down.
