    Look just right of the calendar .. My earlier discription was not accurate

    The poll area is RED ..

    This link is to the story, the POLL is not on the story, you have to go to home page ..even if this track is not by you, it effects you
    in some way or another in the long run

    http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071106/NEWS/711060301

    again, the poll will not be found in the story
    go to home page for that

    Thanks !

    I think the board may have made an impact, it's up by .9% with 1870 votes.

    It's doubtful that a county will be willing to put money into it, but it's a shot. The only way I have seen it done is to incorporate it into a safety measure, tying it in with a local police task force to keep folks from racing on the streets.

    Best of luck.

    It may not make a difference in the decision but very least it does
    prove there is enough interest to consider options

    Thanks for your time

    Hell yes I voted YES. We surely don't need the other crap they'd blow the money on.

    I'd say few reasons

    1) Hot Rodders in general do a poor job of promoting a positive
    image ..1 idiot spins his(or her) tires or goes flying by someone ruins the works of 100's to change that image .

    2) If you read some of the comments , people have their own axe to grind ..In other words, not against the drag strip..just prefer money spent in the way that benefits them most .

    Pull up the story, read some comments about wasting fuel, etc
    They could not be a more uninformed group
    the local race community needs to do something about that
    and , wherever you are ..I bet the view is close to the same
    except maybe .. Indy ?
