Default Brotherhood Raceway (needs support)

For all those who talk the talk that they hate street racing, here is your chance to make a difference-put up or shut up. Let see how many willl do something about it other than preach the dangers of it.

Tell a Friend:
Repost this message on your blogs, pass it around your e-mails, and copy it to as many forums you can think of, thanks.

Brothehood need your help to make this successful:
A few years ago we did an Internet assault on previous Mayor James K. Hahn, it was very successful. Today we are now doing it to Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa. On Tuesday 9-17-08 we went to the neighborhood that was mostly affected by street racing. We ask them if they were tired of living in front of a drag strip? We told them every time they call the cops on us, why not call the mayor's office and tell him what they think, they can leave a message after hours. We told them their is a solution that has work in previous times and is not being used today. We left them a flyer with all the direct numbers to city hall. Well it worked, they called in and the mayors office responded by scheduling a meeting with Big Willie to discuss the tracks location. We are not done, we need everyone reading this to e-mail the Mayor and let him know people all over the Internet are watching what he is doing on resolving this problem. Please no threats or thrash talk as one of our members found out, it is takin seriously, you are talking to a public official. Thanks to everyone in advance. You can post a copy of your e-mail here if you want for all to see, thanks again for your support.

Here let me be the first to e-mail the mayor:

Hello Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa,

I am very interested in seeing the street race problem in Los Angeles resolved. I know of one program that has worked many times in resolving this issue. Why is it taking so long to implement this program? When can we see results from this program. Fast and the Furious 4 is coming out next year and this has me worried on how many lives are going to be lost from people imitating the movie. Why not give them a place to do it away from public streets. Thank you in advance on this matter, sincerely a concerned citizen,

Fabian

I'm confused. The letter on the bottom makes it sound like the plan has already been approved?? I know nothing of a track in Wilmington, so I know I'm missing something. Also where it specifies all cars participating have to be "street legal?"

Not sure about others, but I wouldn't be bringing a stock car to a "race" track. Does that mean we wouldn't be allowed in with anything more than a factory stock car?? Any clarification on this, cuz it sounds real enticing. Thanks....

Cool. Are they trying to get an actual track to open or trying to stake off a section of public streets in an industrial park to make a strip to race on?

Sure would be nice to get that track opened again but really dont see it happening. Have heard this same song and dance for the past 10-15 years but still am hopeful that one day it will be back up and running.

Terminal Island was cool back in the day, it was low budget but it was a track! I'd love to see a track open up there again or close by.

Here's a shot of my '68 GTX at Terminal Island around 1980-81

That looks like a great plan. If LAPD would use it M-F 9 to 5 we could use it the other times.
