Save A Race Track!

As some of you might know, The Westhampton Race Facility is going to be sold to a housing developer with plans to......well build more houses. Currently, the zoning laws prohibit residential construction on the track site. This news was also featured in Newsday, a local paper of the New York Area.
This is the last drag strip on Long Island and the only other race venue out there is Riverhead which caters to the oval crowd.

Even if drag racing is not your style, raced there and disliked it, or never ran there, please sign the petition below as your vote and signature still counts.

As some of you racers know, tracks across the US are slowly closing up as the need for more shopping malls, housing developments, and golf courses arise Here is your chance to give a little of your time and help to prevent win for corporate greed.

Done,

All NJ guys sign this. I know this sounds bad, but if they close this track people are going to be forced to go to other tracks, like Englishtown, and those who go there know how busy they get especially wed and fri nights. And I don't want that. It's a chore to even get 3 runs in some nights.

You know if people can't get their racing fix at the track we'll have a lot more doing it on the roads. Just my .02.

Me too. I'd hate to lose a race location so conveniently located.

Even if I don't go there, I hate reading about kids dying from not racing on the track, because they can't get to one.

Anthony, I'm a bit confused. What exactly is the petition for? Since this is my home track, I want to save it more than anyone, but if the owner wants to sell it, what is a petition going to do?
