From my Molar Raceway email:

First I wanted to make sure everyone changes Holman Motors Race Car Expo to Saturday March 20th, noon to five, please let us know if you are bringing your car so we can get a rough count.
We had a great turnout last year and hope to again this year!!

And secondly, we want to Congratulate the Boetchers on another victory. Great news for Tony and Melissa at 35 Raceway. A FEW neighbors took them to court to close them down, and they lost. And then they took them to Appeals Court and they lost. And they have the same attorney our few neighbors are using. The Appeals Court ruled in favor of the track after all this time and money.

Appeals Court rules in favor of 35 Raceway against it's neighbors.
Here is a quote from the neighbors attorney, John Schaeffer,

"We're disappointed the court of appeals didn't take steps to shut down the track, but we knew it was quite a reach that they would do that," Schaeffer said, (Schaeffer $ Schaffer) out of Wooster, OH, is who is handling our neighbors "exaggerated claims," as defined in the appeals court quote below!!

So if you know it's "quite a reach" why waste everyone's time and money???


The appeals court quote, "residents exaggerated the degree of harm the racetrack caused them," that the racetrack was beneficial to the community at large in terms of part-time jobs and a convenient location and prize money for racers, and the fact racing is limited to 45 to 90 minutes per night only about 20 Saturdays per year, made a limited injunction a reasonable choice.



We have ourselves imposed most of what the Judge did in terms of the limited injunction, we try to get done by midnight or before and we require mufflers.



So again, If you know it's "quite a reach" why waste everyone's time and money???

Well, I guess the law firm isn't wasting their time, and they're definitely making money!!!

Congratulations to Tony and Melissa and we'll see you soon as we join forces with many others who are in this wonderful sport that brings generations of families together on Friday and Saturday nights!!

Gregg,

You are so right. One way to stop this nonsense would be for the courts to require the losers (in this case the neighbors) to pay for the court costs plus double the legal expenses for the defendants. Maybe then they would think about "quite a reach to shut down the track". Of course the law firm gets paid no matter what.
