Bring Back The Track

http://www.petitiononline.com/JayHass/petition.html

Tom, wheres your car man, are you getting another one? i would love to have a track in ct but i don't ever see it happening... :(

I sold it in December. I have the 91 GT still. I needed a SUV so I bought a 2002 Explorer .....

I thought I saw you today @ the comuter parking lot looking @ a stang.

& that track thing has been out for a long time. I don't think it is going to happen.

Hey Hey, you mean your wife has a 91 stang....:bang:

I signed that a while back 7140 .. What is the latest news on whats going on with this CT track..

:jest:

This seems to pop up every few months on here. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like there is any chance of this happening. From what I remember Consumer Reports owns the property and has a test facility there.

this was actually on ch 3 news last night about trying to bring back the track, and this petition was mentioned, keep signing away, it cant hurt.

im 7130 ;D

State of Connecticut owns it, the State Police use it for high pursuit training. They had just repaved it like 5 years ago or something like that. But yes the poll seems to indeed pop up every few months doesnt it LOL

maybe they would get the freakin hint!

It takes money, not signatures, to open a track. The new track (road course) in Palmer MA will be opening next season or the season after. Everything has gone through with the town and the land owners. There wasn't a single petition or signature, just a ton of money and a few meetings.

from what I know consumer report still owns it, I was there last summer and they were out testing a new wrx

No, Consumer Reports owns the track. The State Police DO use it for their training classes, but it is owned and used by Consumer Reports.

Yes, the petition on-line isn't going to do anything. I think that petition has been around for years - maybe 7 or 8 years? I remember signing it back in 2001 or 2002.

Awesome a road course in Palmer MA. I have never done any road course racing but it looks fun. They have days sometimes when streetcars can go out and play for fun at most tracks dont they?

You have to go with one of the racing clubs that rent out the track. There are a few very good local clubs. The Corvette Owners of Mass (COM) is my favorite to run with. They have great instructors and its a very fun and competitive atmosphere.
