There is a huge group up here in the south of Seattle that are trying to shut down Pacific Raceway Park (Old SIR Seattle International Raceway). I live 1 mile as a crow fly's from the starting line. One is my neighbor.
He came door knocking asking to sign his patition. I just said

"Dude, are you for real??? The track was built in 1959 and our houses were built in 1983... Who moved in on who??.... And, look at my Barracuda and my Little Red truck out front. Do you want me to start racing on our street out front when they shut the track down?" He just walked away.
