They ALREADY lived near the speedway but wanted to block the drag strip. Well the owner of the Speedway said OK -and basically that he would close down EVERYTHING and move to a different state.

Now not only is the drag strip where he wanted it but they named the road after him too!

We used to have a racetrack on on Long Island but it went out of business. When the oppurtunity came about to build a new one on the old Grumman place, menopausal assholes and scumbags killed it so they could build a pointless "ski mountain" and retail bullshit.

So instead of actual industry and real money they are going to pump a lot of retail jobs and traffic into the area. Instead of noise from the racetrack they prefer the noise of traffic and construction and increase property taxes.
