Its very interesting to see how many people are intolerant of the activies that other people enjoy. I am curious why so many people are excited to see the race track shutdown and leave a lot of people without access to an activity they enjoy. There are numerous things that the city funds that I do not use, but I do not attack the people that enjoy those activities. Also, the race track draws numerous people that are not voting citizens in the OKC city limits and have no recourse against their city councilmen or mayor. Also, the fiscal impact is more than the lost revenues generated from the tax on ticket sales at the track. There is also going to be a significant lose from sale taxes in every business that supports racers, from the selling of racing fuels to racing engine parts.

I really enjoyed going to the races off and on for the past 40 years. It was great entertainment on a summer night for $10. Also, sitting in the grand stands on a 4th of July let you not only watch the fireworks at the race track, but you could also see the fireworks downtown.
