Northwest Members - NO NASCAR Track in Marysville!

Aaron Reardon was just on TV. They backed out of the plan because they couldn't guarantee a profit. :cry: Shoulda listened to us & added the drag strip.....

They should upgrade the Monroe track. We already get tons of traffic for races, why not add Sundays to the list. Oh, and add the Drag Strip.

Yup!

I hate to say it but I warned you guys all about the people who live around us :( I have heard the biggest reasons were un-welcome comunity :(

Yeah they should somehow add a 1/4 to Monroe, that would be very convenient for a lot of us, lol.

Once I found out it wouldn't be a long track I wasn't all that enthused about it anyway. We need a "north of Lynnwood" 1/4 mile drag strip around here, hopefully one that is conducive to a little road racing/auto-x type stuff too. If they build it I will come :)

I am with you on that. Kind of bummed they did it but at the same time it would be fight every time a race came here with those people and it would have looked bad.

As We pointed out before if NASCAR is going to come here they have to make people HERE want it ;) Sure they may fill every seat with out of state people but if they have to fight with the locals every time they come here it would be short lived.

It really is a sad situation. Yesterdays race(although to many flag for me) was spectactular and today we here this...

What can a body do?

:cry:

That's what we get for living in a region full of tofu eating, soy latte drinking, Toyota Prius driving, tree hugging peaceniks... :mad:

I think I'm gonna go back over a spotted owl and do a burnout on it...

On the news last night I heard one arguement against it was because of the ecological impact....give me a break. :bang:

You gotta be kidding me. What a joke. I'm getting so tired of all the pole smoking, tree hugging morons in this state.

Hey now.....save a tree, eat a beaver! :jest:

Hey lets all build a monorail that no one will ride AND it does not pollute, lol.

Another thing, that area is slated for development, so now the tax payers will have to pay for the road anyways to exit off I5 for some kind of warehouses, shopping etc.. and have traffic there all day log instead of 3 weeks a year. Not to mention the pollution from that traffic. :bang:

If this is the reason to not build, which the nay folks are jumping on...

I want to know what all those people who do not want the track, handle their own enviromental issues and justified their causes.?? Like had trees cut down to build their homes...in wooded areas with wildlife, prob wear leather (which animals were killed), prob eat salmon for dinner (and want them saved), drive cars to work and pollute the air (they need to take a bus to work) etc., etc.. :mad:

I say drill for oil in the sound and use the profits for a new track. :jest:

Or legalize pot & pay for free health care for all of us!

I already have full benefits at work.... gimme the damn track

Or legalize pot & pay for free health care for all of us!

:jest:

Go Todd Go!!!!!!

LMFAO!! Things were said here "I" was holding back on hehehe

That sucks... that's what we get for being in a friggin blue state. We gotta get Dino Rossi there!.....

WAHUSKER, I've sent you a PM about heads/cam pkg

Hey WS6 Freak. Were you out on 522 Sunday? the Wife and i saw a car near fales road just like yours. We waved but they were busy. She ask me If we knew anyone with a car like that And I told her just the one Bobby sold.

Yup, that was me. I was bored and needed to go for a drive :o) But wait... I was by myself, but you said "they" were busy...? Maybe it wasn't me, but I was driving on 522 on Sun too....

LOL I was just refering to who ever was in the car ;) in the a Red LT1 Z28 ;)

Ok, this is totally insane.
The state says it didn't want to share in spending money for roads and handling traffic ect.

"The decision follows ISC's offer to pony up only $50 million for the project, which was estimated to cost more than $300 million. ISC wanted the state to finance the rest and kick in another $75 million to improve roads to handle the hordes of race-day fans." (Seattle Business Journal daily)

YET they are going to build nothing but homes there. Figure 3 cars a house, more roads, sidewalks, traffic lights, wheelchair ramps at cross walks, cross walks, dropping cable and television lines and thats just in the housing developments, then they will be forced to do something about onramps and exits, adding a HOV lane, bus transit routes and stops, renovating schools to accommodate the students and additional school busses, more fire stations, trucks and EMT vehicles, sewer for all that, phone lines, cable and anything else I might have missed.....I'M NOT A MATH WHIZ BUT IT DON'T ADD UP TO NOT HAVE A RACE TRACK VS A HOUSING TRACT!!!!!!

"Locations in Kitsap County near Bremerton and in Portland, Ore., were among those being considered when Snohomish County was chosen. On April 28, the Bremerton City Council passed a resolution indicating support for locating a NASCAR facility in Kitsap. Daren Nygren, Bremerton City Council president, said the city is aware of potential downsides, like traffic issues, but also thinks the facility could provide a significant economic boost." (same source)

For fucks sake - Nygren is awake and paying attention at the very least.

:boiling:

I was watching from afar and was really disappointed that they chose Marysville over Kitsap county. Maybe Kitsap will have a shot now? It would be great for our area. It would be nice to have some motorsports industry (not located in an attached garage) growing over there. Besides, I could sell dyno time after I buy one (not that I'll be getting one anytime soon)...

There was something about it in the Yelm paper this last week that the Mayor is Thinking about reopening the thought of it being down here. Which I am kewl with because it would be less then 10 miles from my house & its going to be a 3/4 to a 1mile track (with a poss. of a 1/4mile straight away with dragstrip)
