You'll notice on Google Earth they only developed the EXACT area the strip was on. It is not like they wanted to develop 1000 acres and the strip was a small part of it. I think LI sucks and I think that the missing tracks (westhampton and Bridgeport) discourage people from getting into racing. Am i supposed to build a car on LI and then test it at Atco or Englishtown? Maybe Watkins Glen or Poconos? It is all politcal, just like Islip Macarthur airport, people are complaing about the noise there
-
@ginsunh People who say "Not In My Back Yard" (even if they moved in long after the track was already there)
-
@OFFSHOREJOJO It won't make a difference. They were going to build one at Calverton airport but they wouldn't allow it due to "noise". WTF!!!!!!!!! It's a god damn airport! How can they site noise as a valid excuse. Steve Levy just doesn't want a track anywhere on Long Island. End of story.

Put 1/4 mile track by airport or any noisy place we need one !
-
