: Kyle
: First of all , cool homework assingment.
: Pro:
: #1 Mayor (pro tem at the time) Mike Dispenza
: told me at the save LACR rally that"The
: 300,000 people that circulate through LACR
: each year , just spending $10 that puts
: $3,000,000 in circulation in the Palmdale
: area alone.Ad to that those monies are
: turned over a minimun of 5 times ,that
: equates to 15,000,000 ! " That is what
: Mike told me to my face.
:
: #2 A drag strip gives people , especially
: young drivers a SAFE & supervised place
: to compete rather than racing on the
: street.SAVING LIVES is ultimately what a
: Drag Strip does...FACT!
:
: #3 Drag Racing is a family sport.NHRA is the
: largest auto sanctioning body in the world
: and "auto racing" in genral is a
: multi BILLION dollar bussines in the
: aftermarket industry.
:
: #4 Drag racers are not the old
: "hoodlums" as portrayed in
: movies.John Force , Kenny Bernstien,Tony
: Pedregon these are bussines men/racers whose
: budgets are in the tens of millions of
: dollars. Do a google search on Billionair
: Bruton Smith.
:
: Cons: Drag Strips are noisy.
:
: ( Funerals on the other hand from a tragic
: street race are so quite that they are
: deafening)
:
: Do not let anyone tell you that a Drag Strip
: will only bring "pollution" into
: the area with the traffic.
: Fact : At any given time half of the cars
: competeing at a Drag Race are burning
: Alcohol, you know the "New Green
: Fuel" the nation wants to use more of.
: Fact : A typical race car only runs a few
: minutes,with the actual race lasting between
: 4.5 and 25 seconds.
: Fact: "Tow vehicles" sit 95% of
: the time during a typical 16 hour race
: day,only starting their engines to tow a
: race car to and from the raceway surface.
: 90+% of all cars at the track "sit ,
: engine off" unlike the 200,000 cars on
: the 405 each day ideling with the a/c on and
: thats just the 405! so where are the real
: polluters?
:
: Fact: The community has a choice . There
: will always be street racing but it can be
: curbed by having a facilty to race at and
: then deal with the "outlaws" very
: harshly. Lions Drag Strip, Irwindale , OCIR,
: Terminal Island etc. all put a dampner on
: street racing. Kids nowdays want a legal ,
: safe place to race. Look at Irwindale
: dragstrip , Thursday the place is packed and
: the kids have a ball!
:
: Read my story I did in Full Throttle news a
: while back on Mouldy Marvins site
: "savelacr"
: My email is stormy782@earthlink.net.
:
: I was also involved with the drag strip
: project in Banning the last seven
: years.(which was finally killed)
: Hope this helps....Stormy Oh by the way I
: run a Blown front engine Modified Fuel
: Roadster from the 60's. Been going to the
: drags 40+ years and racing 30+.
