now im gonna have to drive down to englishtown to go to the track cause this one is gonna be fucked im sure. not that its a bad thing cause e-town is a better track but you gotta drive through the city in NY which is a bitch.
-
thats not even the worst part, there are people who store campers/RV's, enclosed trailers with cars in them etc. there in the lot next to the track. word is the water is up the the windshields on some of them.
-
That sucks
-
All the tracks in California use to be in valley/deserts but they are all shopping malls now and foreclosures homes now.

yea they used to lightly flood all the time. i think it was usually only at the back end of the track because its a cunt hair lower and they claimed when they re-did the track that the "fixed" the flooding issue. i guess theres no way to fix water higher then the barriers haha.
up in the NE this summer its been raining a rediculous amount, like record breaking amount. we just go our 1st 90* day this week with like 150% humidity.
-
mayhem
-
end of the world. grab your bibles

end of the world. grab your bibles

You're gonna drown BITCH!
-
not the first flood but im sure the new owner has flood insurance by now.
The funny thing about flood insurance is you can't get it if you build or purchase existing structures on a flood plain. People who do are fucking retarded.
-
Use the place for drag racing boats and jet ski's now.
-
And aquatic snowmobile sports.
-
end of the world. grab your bibles

No he said he will kill all racetracks for shopping malls
Its at the end with the horses flying and people burning. Shit like that.

There are some bitches trying to get our dragway shut down because they stupidly moved to neighborhoods that were built after the drag strip and want to bitch about the noise.

Look up about the Pomona dragstrip in california. basically the heart of where the whole street racing thing started
The homeowners won the track is used very little compared to what it should.
Track was there decades before the homes.
-
Yeah, that's shit, and I don't see how a judge feels it's right to close anything or even attempt to compromise with the homeowners. They should have used common sense or did a little more research. It's the same situation in this case, the dragway was built in the middle of the woods decades before the homes started popping up.
I remember reading reviews on a previous apartment I lived at, and people would give negative scores because "there's noise from planes and trains." No fucking shit, that's what happens when you live near train tracks and an airport :?:

The Biltmore Estate constructed their high-end high-rent hotel, "The Inn at Biltmore," 500 yards away from the old Asheville Motorspeedway. They had the place closed and turned into a park six months before the construction was finished, it used to pack the house every night it was open and hosted cool vintage races when the Enclave (? Old Austin-Healy owners group) *used* to come to town once a year, among other things.
I guess it's cool to be able to ride a bike around the old track, or play hockey on inline skates in the old pit, but fuuuuuuuuck. There's always somebody there all through the week, but I doubt more people are there in one week than used to go there on one Friday night for four hours, contributing to the economy.

Whole sections of Palmdale were built around LACR since the track was open 11 months out of the year 4 days a week for 50+ years.
#'s wise just on services,motel etc I cant imagine the loss in revenue for the city. Good ole california though will just print money and have loop holes why things like racing are bad for the community.

my mom and dad are from schenectady over near the 90 and the 88. i guess it's a lot different now then it was in the 50's
Most of the stuff in Schenectady dates back to before General Electric started really outsourcing. Now the place just reeks of what it formerly was. Sad really. They are just recently starting to build new stuff to try to breathe some life into the city.
The other shots posted up are just crazy.
All the city's along the Erie canal are like that,. Just post industrial run down cities. That's how Troy is, Amsterdam, Utica, Syracuse etc...
I did an Intership this summer at ConMed Corp. The building was formerly a GE radio plant in Utica. Some of the people I worked with worked there when it was GE, and said GE was a bigger and better place when they owned it. They employed thousands.
All the big companies that used to do business moved out because it's too expensive to do business here, since our government has no balls and lets china play protectionism with currency manipulation. All I see through lots of Utica is old empty manufacturing plants. It really makes me sad how empty they are.

On another note, that really sucks for every one about Lebanon valley. The track is only about 45 mins from me.
