This is such bull crap every rider that buy's something from the town's store's and gas station's add to the town's economy and tax'es. Here's a great idea for a convenience store / gas station in the town have a pump that has a great 2 stroke gas as well as a pump for 4 junk gas. As far as tax'es go i think american's pay too much in tax'es now. If it's backed up to a library and school SO WHAT aren't they built good enough to block out the sound?? If not retro fit them with sound damping mat's .Their's no real good reason to lose any track.
If ever rider would buy some of their food for the day, gas maybe for their transport vehicle (car and trailor or pick-up), maybe even gas for their bike in southwick when do you think it's enough. I mean maybe to keep track's rider's will have to buy the land or home's around the track's . Southwick mx track is a national treasure and should be maintain as a working mx track. IF sound is the issue there's all kind's of solution's but the one's doing the complain about the noise should pay for the solution. Their the one with the complaint!!!!! I personally believe southwick has made alot of money over the year's because of the track. THE FACT that the track is in town should be a asset to advertiser's if they advertise to the people who like that fact and if their smart enough they make a market by being smart enough to recognize a need or trend.
I mean what else could southwick do to generate more revenue maybe advertise to bring people to the track to ride on it on day's other than just on the pro race. This would take coperation between the town and track, but it's better than closing down. I mean advertising out of state give rider's who stay in you're motel's access to the track. Getting to ride one of the great place's on GOD'S green earth to ride mx should be draw enough for rider's to try and make southwick a vacation destination.
I know southwick mx track is open to riding several time's a year i mean if it's got so much to do with money then the track has to be open every day possible. I hate to see southwick go the way carlbad went . In closing if you live close enough to buy in southwick buy from the town merchent's but remind them you do so in support of the track and hope they'll support the track. I mean how many of us are loyal to a certain brand of product maybe it's time for us rider's to support the town's that support our sport.
GOOD LUCK to whoever is gonna fight for southwick mx track but if you're to win rider's from massachusses as well as the united state's even the world better start supporting the cause by signing petition's on behalf of the track maybe even sending money to fight for the track if it even get's that far or their won't be another race like in 1993 a local boy doug henry number 16 on a cr125 in the heat and sand of southwick ripped the world's best apart. and that's was just 2 moto's on one day.
Think of the race's that's been raced there and the race's that could be raced there and ask yourself do we really want to see southwick go the way of the dinosaur's?
NOT ME i'll say it right now KIM
