Track dreams

[Z28SSMAN]

If anybody thinks there's a good chance of having a new track of any type here--keep dreaming.

I commend Mr. Farnum for trying though.

The guys an idiot,He keeps talking this crap,but it will never happen. A friend of mine is trying to open a motocross facility and has been fighting for 3 years to get the ok,just a huge run around,this thing will never happen unless it at least 100 miles out of the city. I didnt know raceway was closing,and it wont be long before elko joins it,to much building going on around it,just a matter of time before the homeowners win.

Hah. Then it's obvious the papers didn't tell the whole story about that clown. I didn't know raceway was shutting down either.

I remember back in the late 70's when George Flurry wanted to buy Northstar, we were BS'ing with him and George said there is no way the track will stay going, the neighbors hate the roundy cars but the drag cars were not an issue at that time, besides George stated that wit the 21% interest rate now (then 1979) would kill me on a 2 million dollar loan.

I the 80's I went to the meeting when they were trying to get a track going by sandstone and some olg bag bitched that all the drag racers would go through the town after racing for a day then race on their streets. I quickly told here " But you would rather have a prison with people that comiited murder and rape, you had better hope they do not get loose in your little town lady". It is asshats like that that have ruined it for racing everywhere in MN. This state sucks for anything cars, I am sure it will be better in GA. when I can get the hell out of here.

Like most have said prior, there will never be another track here in MN. I hope there is so much street racing in the next few years that will change peoples minds.
