    What all do they want to do?
    I have heard it will have all of:
    Nascar size track
    Road course
    Quarter mile strip
    Dirt track
    Exhibition area
    Some crazy acreage...

    If it has all that, it will be awesome.
    I would often for T&T anyway, and shows of course.
    We are in a black hole here in P'cola for a drag strip.
    There is one in Mobile, Atmore, and Holt... but all are over an hour from me. :(
    It would sure be nice to see this go in on the Beach Express.
    There is mucho unused land on that road too, so no neighbors to complain about noise. :mad:
    We lose so many strips in this country to cry babies that buy a house near a strip, and then get it shut down for noise. Even though the strip was there long before the cry baby... :bs:
    The local govt should grandfather these in and tell the folks 'tough titty', shoulda bought your house somewhere else.

    I have a cool place with a track within 5 miles of my house, called Houston Motorsports Park...problem is, it is owned by Mercedes of Sugarland, and membership is something like $24,000 a year, plus $500 per month use fees. No, I am not exagerrating.

    Here is the website http://www.msrhouston.com/msrhouston/index.html

    Kinda sucks to drive past that everyday, and be taunted by the price tag.

    When the local drag strip closed down for a year, they almost bought the equipment and moved it there. Luckily, someone else bought the strip and opened it back up before the expensive guys got it.
