They made those concessions to sell it to the town board and get a foot in the door, but people are already coming out complaining about the noise it'll make, that the track prep will contaminate the ground water, there are endangered birds in the area etc. So hopefully it'll go well and we can get more in the future, I'm going to take my street car there for a couple of the days to support it. The runways have plenty of length for full length races, one runway on the property is 10,000' long and the other is 7,000'
My brother and I will be there with our street car also. The way the track is situated, the closest home is a mile away. The NIMBYs wont hear the cars, and unmuffled cars won't be as noisy as they think from that distance. It will be less noise than the gun range by Firemans Field. Lets stay positive, bring your hot rods out and have some fun with it............you never know.
