Scooter, When there is enough interest in motorsports to have a national event right in your hometown , I would say that there's no shortage of enthusiasts to be mobilized to get that strip openened up. Get together with a few other racers, approach all the car clubs,speed shops, parts stores,garages,towing services, etc. Get petitions signed, get publicity and approach whatever entity that controls your track to gat it open to you at least once a week. If there is any problem in your area with street racing, then even the cops should get behind it. Give it a try. Hank
