Arrow DRAG CITY's Last Stand ***Please Read***

PLANNING COMMISSION TO HOLD SPECIAL MEETING ON JANUARY 10th 2008 FOR
DRAG CITY

While the City of Banning considers the Drag City project dead. The
Planning Commission has set this matter to be discussed at a
revocation
hearing in order to afford the Drag City project any due process rights

which is entitled under the Code or the laws of the State of California

or the United States. The hearing will take place at a special meeting
of the Planing Commission of the City of Banning to be held at 6:30pm
on
January 10, 2008 at the City Council Chambers in the Banning City hall
located at 99 East Ramsey Street.

At the revocation hearing the City will present evidence as to the
expiration of the UUP and will request that the Planning commission
formally revoke the UUP, which revocation will have the effect of also
terminating the DA. Upon completion of the City's presentation, Drag
City will have the opportunity to submit evidence and arguments on it's

own behalf. The Public is also allowed to speak on the issue as well
and
are invited to comment on the matter. This is your chance to make a
difference! Let others know and BE THERE!

Banning is the city. You pass it on the 10 fwy going to Palm Springs, that's really all there is to Banning.

When they ask for public comments, I think it is only residents of Banning that are allowed to speak...

Well, I don't like to think that way, you may be right. But right now we are down to one 1/4 mile track in Socal which is pathetic. So if there is even a slight chance I am willing to try and support it.

I have 2 tickets in the last 2 weeks! I need track events to keep me out of trouble.

Sounds like these guys made a good effort but did not have solid financial backing.

I also gave up on Drag City quite some time ago. I was involved very early on when it was to be in Rialto. If they can convince the city council, great otherwise, it might as well be like Irwindale for me....Irwindale is a nice track, but I can't go on Thursday nights due to work constraints. If more Sundays were available, I would go there much more.


There are actualy 2 1/4 mile tracks in So Cal. California Speedway - which might as well not even operate as they aren't open or available nearly enough and Famoso Raceway - which with last year's schedule as was not open nearly enough (and closed in August/September ??? just when it started to cool down). Please note this is from someone who remebers Famoso being open EVERY single Friday night and most weekends - not just for some nostalgia race...
