    Flint, Michigan, is where the main Chevrolet Manufacturing complex once stood. It’s now just a huge brownfield, as all the buildings were demolished several years ago. The Mayor of Flint, who was a certified idiot, proposed building a drag strip there to shore up the economy of the area. This site is less than 1/4 mile from downtown Flint, in the middle of a residential area. Needless to say, his idea was shot down by just about everyone in the county! Even the racers knew this was a bad idea! His wife owns the largest GM dealership in the WORLD, as the commercials attest, so I’m thinking politics had something to do with it. He got voted out in the next election.
