It is a shame these folks are so narrow minded. In Colorado, near Denver, three years ago we opened a NEW fairgrounds track. AND it MADE MONEY FOR THE COUNTY!!!! More $$ every year for the county. Now a new PRIVATE track is opening this spring, and another government owned track, leased to a promoter , is schedlued to open as well this Spring- thats THREE NEW tracks in 3 years all within 100 miles- ALL dirt !!! Of course local racers are happy, but only time will tel lif they all survive- lets hope so. I think the quality of the promoter and their relationship with the county/city/neighbors etc plays a real big part. We have a curfew (very strict) at the three year old track- they will send a cop to tell the flagman to throw the checkered at 10 pm in case he forgets- regardless of what lap it is- BUT we still have the track.....
