WIth Race City leaving us at the end of the month, ive decided to set up my own tribute. i say we line up in front of race city and let it rip. one last cloud of smoke to pass over the track. whos down?

[Shlade]

when is the last day?

Its such a small road tho that not many cars could fit there haha

Would be a neat thing to see tho

[strawberrydouch]

im pretty sure the lease is done at the end of the month, so i guess after the las secret street would be best?

I've never once been to race city? :confused:

Wouldn't the 700 block of Macleod trail serve as a better location for something like this?

You are right, the pavement is shitty there. Too many cracks and potholes.


:rofl:


So this is it? City hall is going to turn it into a dump?

[chkolny541]

^^ yup,

[Gollum244]

they should shut down a section for an hour or so and just let us rip it. turn the concrete black:burnout:

[strawberrydouch]

i like the shutdown idea, that would possibly avoid some tickets. ill call up track mgmt.. seriously though i need a list of ppl thatll be down to make this happen.

[strawberrydouch]

this good enough?

[T-Dubbs]

wheres the other tire mark?

[Gollum244]

sign me up! i was going to go down there for that night anyway, take a last drive with my car before i rip it apart. i think it would be an awesome sendoff.

[xDodge2x]

why race city and not outside nenshi's house?!

juaaaasttt kidddiinnggg :D

[strawberrydouch]

What's that image? Too small.

[strawberrydouch]

i asked him if there was anyway he could do something for the track and he replied "the owner wants out. No one has yet presented an alternative proposal, but @CouncillorKeats is working hard on this." art mckenzie isnt even trying to save the track hes just being a bitch

[know1edge]

um isnt that old news?

[chkolny541]

the owner stopped giving a shit about that place a LOOOONNNNGGGG time ago:rofl:

[strawberrydouch]

this is true, however at track events and other things taking place at race city, art mckenzie had expressed a desire to fight for the track against the city. the not caring part is obvious by its given current condition. (me falling through the stands at 190pds etc) but its really just a pile of bullshit so he wouldnt look bad. kinda pisses me off, which side is this guy really on? at this point i could care less. i just hope our next track is completed soon and can actually attract the likes of decent race series with an owner that actually gives two shits about racing.

[Shlade]

When is the last secret street?

[xDodge2x]

haha wurd I fell through the bleachers to, on the oval side.

[Ymerej472008]

I know where Art lives, Id say do it in front of his house but my best friend is neighbors with him?! :guns:

[strawberrydouch]

game over for me gents, truck blew up HAHA blew head gasket so bad it pressured up the coolant and blew off the rad hoses. LOL you guys are more than welcome to give'er though and carry on the legacy. let me know.

For what it's worth - what Nenshi said was politics.

Art IS working to save the track. He's helped MARCS and is doing everything he can to keep it going.

It's hard for him to put money into a facility that's been on the chopping block almost every year for the last 6 years or so. I know that he does the minimum on track repairs - but he does do it. He's made every single repair that I've requested - every one.

Of course I've always understood that 'repave the thing' was so outlandishly uinreasonable that I never asked it, really, only an idiot would think that made any sense.

From my perspective, Art's doing a great job in a very difficult environment.

My hats off to Art.

Now - to the BURNOUT! I know that a public display of outlaw behaviour WILL get noticed - and I think that would be fantastic.

I really like the idea of using Bronconier Memorial Raceway - formerly known as MacLeod Trail. It would be an awesome place!
