[Shotimes] Midwest want a new race track? Please read

[Donald Mallinson]

There is a group of people that want to build a new race 
facility just west of Peoria, IL on I-74.  This is about 
equal distant from Chicago, St. Louis, Quad Cities, 
Indianapolis.

Planned is a 1/4 mile drag strip, 3/8 mile paved Oval and a 
3.1 Mile ROAD COURSE!  Parking lot use for autocross is also 
planned.

Why am I telling everyone this?  BEcauwse there is 
opposition to the project from a few people that will have 
the track as a neighbor.  This is understandable, if it was 
in my backyard, I would have to think hard about my 
feelings, but it is way out in the country next to the 
interstate where noise levels are already high 24-7.  I 
think this project has a good chance, but the more people 
that support it, the better.

If you think having an affordable track at this location 
would be a good thing for you... then let me know, offline, 
and I can send you a list of county board members to write 
to, and a Petition to sign and pass around in support.  If 
we get some people from outside the metro area that say they 
would spend some money at the track, that would be a positive.

They are not looking for investors at this time, and they 
are not asking for any public money or help, just approval 
to put the project on 300 acres of farmland that they have 
an option to buy.

Here is a link to their web site (just up).

information and forms, help us get a track in the middle of 
corn country that will serve a lot of us SHO and other auto 
enthusiasts!
