Another point as to why I don't go there lol. McDonald's was a bunch of cool people an cool cars, not a kid beating his girlfriend, and a mob flipping a Honda and running from cops.

Gonna have to agree with this. This kind of crap doesn't help Long Island get a new dragstrip either.

Unfortunataly, the three main problems for a drag strip are:
Insurance must be thru the roof.

Since it is a big footprint it need to have a huge volume to be profitable.

Epa nightmare & the tree huggers protest it & most people aside from us car guys don't want it in their back yard.

All is my opinion but i am sure im not far off.

The tree huggers are hypocrits. Calverton is pretty much vacant yet they have no problem with some guy wrecking almost 6 acres of trees to build low income apartments down the block from me in Nesconset. Plus, you can plant walls and trees around the perimeter to deaden the sound.

But your right, it probably wont happen. LI is full of yuppy infested, Starbucks drinking, iphone texting, hermit crab stuck up snobs that think racers are nothing but uneducated trailer trash.

Sad but i agree.
I know the guy who tried to do it & was shot down. Years of work & bs. I guess it also is hard b/c they would have to build more acess roads to get there. In the summer it is rough w/ traffic. They wanted to do a NASCAR track, housing, amusment park & other stuff w/ the drag strip. Years ago even Franz the NASCAR inc with no matter money could not make it happen, I think Trump too. So nothing is going to happen for a loooong tim if ever imo.
