Hi Bigfoot,
Thank you for your reply. Yes possible the Uni students are worse ha ha. I think the police are good but something like that is going to be disruptive to any small town. Possibly the town has grown out but the racetrack has not, so having a racetrack in the middle of a town - who would want that. I have had to walk over vomit and the most vile things after the race has been on - I thought the whole point was to go up their and get drunk for most people? I think most people in town dislike it - but it does bring in some money but only for a short period of time. Possibly they could use the track for something else like safe driver training or something - all that money spent of things like that when there is so much unemployment etc in rural areas.
I believe the influence it has on the young men may also not be good - I have literally seen boys driving on two wheels in the middle of town. As if there are not enough accidents with young people but an influence like this just makes it worse, however you I have to admit the skill it takes to drive around that track is amazing. I tried it once and didn't get over 80 k's it was very scary - those drivers are amazing to drive at those speeds around that track - serious skill involved I must admit!
