BUILD THE DRAG STRIP
Target:
THE CITY OF CONCORD
Sponsored by:
THIS PETITION HAS BEEN CREATED FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE DRAG STRIP AT LOWES MOTOR SPEEDWAY. THE CITY OF CONCORD AND ITS MEMBERS HAVE ABRUPTLY MODIFIED ZONING ON THE LAND WHERE IT IS TO BE BUILT BECAUSE THEY OPPOSE OF THE NOISE IT WILL BRING TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS SURROUNDING THE TRACK. THE LAND IS A MOTOR SPORTS MECA. IT WAS DESIGNED AND IS DESIGNED TO STAY THAT WAY. NEIGHBOORHOODS HAVE SINCE BUILT THEMSELVES AROUND THIS MOTORSPORTS COMPLEX AND HAVE DECIDED THE CARS ARE TOO LOUD FOR THEM WITH THE UNDERSTANDING WHEN THEY BOUGHT THE PROPERTY THEIR NEIGHBOR IS A MAJOR MOTORSPORTS COMPLEX. PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION IF YOU SUPPORT THE DRAG STRIP TO BE BUILT ON LOWES MOTOR SPEEDWAY PROPERTY OWNED BY SPEEDWAY MOTORSPORTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
I see alot of questions on here about the Zoning. This land is zoned for a motorsports complex. On Monday 10/1/07 The Concord City Counsel and the opposing members of the surrounding neighborhoods voted to modify the zoning of this land to not allow the drag strip.
Update: I sent this petition to the Mayor of Concord, Mr. Scott Padgett and received this response at 3:oo pm 10/9/07:
This is good news folks but keep those signatures coming! Thank you

My license is currently suspended for drag racing on Rt34. Having a legal place to race would take a burden off the court system so they could focus their attention on the real criminals. Also it is much cheaper to pay for a few days at the track than a few months of going to court.

It is really ashame that the city council voted unanamously against the track. For all the good and prosperity the facility has brought to the Concord area. Surely council members will be removed fiercly in the next election. I wish I lived close enough to vote in the next election. I do spend a lot of money in the area. The facility has always catered to all types of motor sports.

The Motorsports complex was there first. The neighbors should not have built their houses beside the complex if they do not like noise. My suggestion to them would be MOVE if you don't like it. What next? Build your house near a major airport and try to get it closed down? Get a grip!

We're known as a racing state. Right? Make it better for you guys, you guys will only make bank on this, you'll please a million while pissing off 100. I vote do it, I love cars and I wish that we had a 1/4 mile near us in Mooresville.

If you don't do this for anything else, do it so my son can pursue the dreams of racing, that i couldn't.

I think we should raise the amount of signatures to either 10,000 or to double the amount of people who are against it...whichever is greater. Let's get our point out there and make sure this drag strip is built, and built here.

I agree with the expressions of those who spoke out above me... this is a win win situation, don't ruin it for the community because of a number of individuals, there is no logical explanation to do any moving or not to pursue the expansion for a drag strip. Be smart and approve this!!!!

We really need this for our city. Not only will it bring a mass amount of people into the Charlotte and Concord area, but it will draw those of us who live here, closer together. It would be stupid not to build this!!! Thanks

Nascar has been moving out of North Carolina since the late 1990's, and as a former fan I have given up on the spectator sport. I have since found drag racing. This past summer I ran my truck in the True Street class for a FFW show and I'm hooked. The downside is I had to drive to TN to do it... Please don't make me go back to that awful state. The strip was nice, but I hate TN! Build a NHRA quality strip in Charlotte and they will come!
