Long Island getting a part-time drag strip

The main group renting it is doing 4 weekends, they are doing 1/8th mile racing, muffler cars only, and a max of 115mph and no faster than 6.0 ET in the 1/8th. 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'
