Famous track in trouble.
« on: March 04, 2009, 03:18:22 pm »
Firko recieved the following email from journo Steve Kukla. Apparently the famous Perris Raceway in California is under threat of closure for noise and dust pollution complaints. It appears that the problem started with complaints from a neighbour who lives in a caravan on ajacent land. Perris is out in the boonies and you'd think it was safe from the evil greenies but apparently not. 

Perris Raceway may be on the other side of the world but the issues involved are unilateral. Perris Raceway one day, Parramatta Speedway or Calder Raceway the next. No matter where you build a track, somebody will eventually find something to complain about. Be afraid, this is only the beginning.

We received this info from the Southern California Flat Track Association:
 
A fuss has been raised about the Perris track, the dust and the noise.
 
The Perris City Council will be addressing these complaints at a
meeting this Wednesday, March 4.
 
The track needs your support.
 
If at all possible, please come to this meeting at or before 6 PM.

City of Perris
101 N. D Street
Perris, CA 92570
Phone: (951) 943-6100

You do not have to be a resident of Perris to support the track.
 
Please remember to be polite and courteous on your way to,
at the meeting, and on your way home from the city council meeting
thus Wednesday. Dress appropriately for a government function.
Kids can wear race gear (and women too if you like).
 
 
If you have or work at a local shop, let the employees know.
Let the customers know. Another track lost hurts everyone, from the dealer
selling a new motorcycle, to the local mexican restaurant,
to the convenience store selling ice & sodas.
 
As dirt trackers in southern California, we have lost access to
many racetracks. Perris Raceway has gone above and beyond to
build and maintain a place for us to ride. Now it's your turn to
support Perris Raceway with more than attendance and entries.

wrong approach, the council already think you are a bunch of undesirables, so make them as bloody unconfortable as possible...... councils are motivated by self importance so don't feed into it, the only way to prick there bubble is to create an undisirable alternative...... like you might come to the next meetings for the forseeable future and make even more noise.

I am sure the caravan must be an illegal dwelling with inadequate sanitation, counter claims and actions often work, make it as much hassle as possible for the council. Finally theres always a chance of a fire at the caravan, they often burn down ;).
