Fine. Great. Build yourselves a track. Build two . Build ten! As long as it keeps your dumb asses off the road and keeps you from killing other people.
Oh! And one other thing: YOU pay for it and YOU insure it.
I'll be damned if MY tax dollars are going to pay for your stupid hobby. If you guys can afford all the asinine accoutrements that go on your ridiculous, useless metallic penises, you can afford to pay for the track and all that comes with it.

She probably races horses... much different?

The problem is the idiots in this state don't udnerstand the $ that it would bring in to the state. Tax dollars don't need to pay for it, investors do, and they will over time make more then their fair share of $ back.
Even an 1/8th mile track would be fine IMO, anything is better then nothing.
There's plenty of places it could be built, hell the old pratt and whitney airstrip in east hartford would be perfect, one layer of concrete and the whole thing is done.

I really wish CT dragway was there still...most of the people adding comments are idiots, comparing it to giving condoms to kids is REDICULOUS!...Its prolly some fat old lady...tell her no more tv/soap operas for her to watch b/c its makin her fat and stupid...
I bet it will help slow street racing down (im not against street racing, just against people racing in traffic/weaving(why do they even think thats racing???)), but wont put a stop to it, but it would be great if they brought a drag strip in anyways!...i hope it would be a 1/4 mile though...

Personally, I think putting in a track would do alot to help stop the street racing. At least give people a place to race legally. Have a no-time test and tune/grudge race night, just a win light displayed, it would be great to watch, and shut some of the haters up with.
Since this is CT they will build it but F it up somehow, like make the operation hours noon to 3PM and no modified vehicles because of noise.
If they did approve it how long do you think it will take to build? I am still waiting on Stew Leonards in Orange and my West Haven Train Station.

My last English class our teacher had a project for the class to write a persuasive letter to the editor on any chosen topic and see if it gets published… Mine and another girl were the only two in the class to get published. Mine was CT Post. Lets see if I can do it again

+1 on writing the letters.
For the dragway, it needs to go in a rural area where no one would bitch about noise. The last thing we'd need is it to be closed on Sundays like Limerock.
Yeah, I know it will never happen. There is a couple other airports in CT that are also closed, that would be a prime location with the track surface being partially there already.
A couple of the smaller airports that are not doing so well could also probably be bought.

man i wish my grandpa wasnt hurting financially, he owns over 300+ acres in northern CT(conventry) went hunting there and dirt biking, its just endless. he is currently under contract for almost $2.5 mil, if there was some way i could just get a 1/2 mile from him lmao! the hell with the strip malls that want to go in ;D

Which, if you are going to build a 1/4 mile track, that should be the ultimate goal.
BUt like I said, even an 1/8th mile track would be better then nothing, alot of racing is actually going to that.
