Unfortunately, the Tracks around here are getting as scarce as my time.
Gateway, where we played last June at the CA is closing. The proposed track in Eolia MO has been voted down. Local residents don't like the sound pollution and so they object. Several racetracks have suffered public outcry and also succumbedto themarket forces of increase property values and taxes. Later the local complain cause the kids are racing down the public streets.
Like they had somewhere else to go?
I hear you about the little diesels. Proving the point that if you strap on enough horsepower, you can make a brick fly.
