This IS the way to solve illegal street racing. Provide a safe, cheap, legal venue for racers and they WILL stop killing soccer moms that don't look before changing lanes.

We had several street legal tracks in SoCal during the late 90's, and Pomona also had a Beat the Heat program. Those resources resulted in significant reduction in street racing when they were going.

Homeowners who bought new homes built near the track, with a rider that specifically warned them that living near a race track would be noisy, sued the city and shut down the street legal racing. (NHRA televised competitions were welcome to stay of course).

Suddenly street racing skyrocketed again, The Fast and the Furious was set in Los Angeles, and now everyone in LA is paying the increased taxes for law enforcement.

other cities have done/are doing this. It responds well and does its job of keeping it safe and off streets. there's nothing like a 35 roll race though.

What is the deal with our legal system? Someone can move next to a drag strip that was there before them, and sue the track because its too noisy? Asanine?
