Unfortunately if he succeeds it will only be a matter of time before the new neighbors b-tch him out of business. And likely the same developer will be standing there with a check in hand. I have seen it several times and the developers always seem to prevail. The only exception I am aware of has been Reid Hillview airport in San Jose. I believe it was built in the early 1900's far away from the city. Eventually developers bought land and built homes close by. Then the owners of the homes started b-tching about the noise, safety etc,. Well DUHH you bought the home knowing it was there. I just looked online and see the battle is still raging and has been for over 30 years. They will likely eventually shut it down. i am pleased to see it is still open and functioning Same thing happened here with Sunset Speedway (circle track) that had been there over 50 years. Along comes a developer, builds a bunch of house and the b-tching started. The track was shut down. It's all about the TAX $$$

If I was a track owner, 1st thing I'd do is try like crazy to get the track on a Historical Registry/Landmark/Whatever that State calls it. Then it's there for all time, though noise ordinances or days of operation might be applied. I love that about Firebird in the Boise, ID area...If I move there, I can play without worrying how long it'll exist.
Maybe that couldn't be done, or he didn't think of it, but property value scenarios and tax revenues have been the death of a lot of tracks. This, smart move firebird made. Great group of people. I call it my home track and it’s 8hrs from me. Drive there instead of Woodburn dragstrip which is only 45mins away.

525k of his subscribers plus all those who aren't emailing the board I sent an email , never been there , hope to someday . But they are in an uphill battle , once the 4500 homeowners band together the tracks will eventually close. A few months back he talked about selling the Ripsaw ...which hasn't sold yet ? .... for something big? He mentioned a group he's involved with trying to save the track , I imagine they were trying to buy that piece of land ?

I think the main person that don’t like the idea of people having fun is that angry looking crow of a woman in that picture. That's a woman?????? I wish I could be there to attend.
I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!
Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

That is his channel that he uses to get word out on stuff like this, he claims he gets better engagement for this type of thing there, and will eventually move the news over to his main channel. His main channel has over 3 million subs.
He quit law school when his Cleetus character took off. He is young, smart, and well funded. Same goes for Victor Alverez who owns the Drag Strip(evidently cleetus has some of that also). Victor is in his early 30s and has been kicking ass with that track. I wish those guys all the best. I sent my email.

Yep I think the FL RE tax rate is 2% My guess the houses will more likely be about 450K which would bring in 40+million per year in tax revenue from RE taxes alone. Then tack on sales tax from residences purchasing goods. Say goodbye to the racetrack in the coming years.
