Whats the skinny on Atlanta Motorsports Park ?

Im suprised we done have a round there! Seems like a nice place.

Can anyone shed some light on this?:up:

 

Doesn't it need to be built first?

That's nothing more than some grumpy townsfolk. When it comes down to it, the venue will bring in tax dollars to the county, and revenue to local buisnesses. It may take longer, but it's a losing battle for those folks. Sooner or later, the attorney will want paid.

 

I hope you're right.:up:

More tracks the merrier. The locals managed to kill the one here.

Hmm didnt realize that.

STT has several 2011 dates there on the schedule and AMP's website has photos of the track with cars and bikes on it so I thought it was done.

 

That was our initial thoughts on High Rock near Salisbury NC :down:

 

If you read all that is available on the subject..."Just some Grumpy Townsfolk"...is an understatement...sorry.

I like race tracks as well as anyone, however if I bought 70 acres to retire on and had my Home and Horse Farm all set up and the land across the street was bought by a developer to build a "Track" on, I think I would put up a fight also.

I would probably be right there with you. And not following due process on the zoning was not smart
But a handful of landowners will have a difficult fight.

 

For the record......Bluegrass is the only track STT scheduled dates at under my watch that did not come to fruition. That would be exactly one track.

Edit....I talked with and visited with nearly a dozen over the years that did not come to fruition but that was part of my job.

 

Big chunks of undeveloped land can certainly be problematic and an big unknown for existing residents. The sure fire way is to purchase a buffer around your property or butt up against land that is wilderness, state or national parks, BLM, etc...

 

I would place a track in my back yard

 

:up:

 

Or you buy land that is surrounded by Agricultural land just like yours, and expect to have zoning ordnances for the county followed, and when they are not, you either move off the land you have in this case owned for 15+ years and developed as you thought went along with existing plans in/for the area, only to wake up one morning and find...things have changed.

 

So would I, however I would ask my neighbors about it First..and then Respect their opinions.

 

:up:

Not too many of them here

 

Amusing factoid from their (http://moveamp.blogspot.com/) site:

"Most hits was yesterday!!!", right after this thread started. i.e. they got excited by their hits total when 99% of that was from WERA BBS users. That's FUNNNY. Someone wanna call and point out their huge traffic #'s were from people opposed to their cause (other than Britt that is)
