Auto-x could easily be done in a paddock area..... if it's somewhat flat.

Let's not be greedy. But let's also hope that islands are not part of that plan...
Re: Motorsports park in oak ridge
They will probably be no islands at the race facility!

Still a long ways to go, but it's a great step in the right direction.

Re: Motorsports park in oak ridge
Haha, go figure. A mixture of the Govt being unable to make up their mind and commit and developers/writers/lawyers/publicists writing things in a specific language to gain the most favor from an audience then getting caught.MARKP wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 2:52 pm New article regarding the meeting last Monday. https://www.oakridger.com/news/20200213 ... ertainment

And we wonder why things of this magnitude rarely gain any traction. We'll see.

Re: Motorsports park in oak ridge
I received this email today if anyone's in a letter-writing mood.
Hi guys. In case you haven't heard, the city of Oak Ridge is currently evaluating allowing a motorsports park to be developed in the city. The company pushing the idea even plans to use a F1 track designer for the track. If you can, please email your support to the city development board and city council at the links below. Apparently they are getting more negative input than positive, and most locals thinking a motorsports park is a dirt track or something similar. Also, please share if you know anyone else that might be interested (I'm sure Rick knows a few hundred....).
Development board: oridb01@gmail.com
City: citycouncil@oakridgetn.gov
Thanks maybe in a few years we'll have a close place to run!

Re: Motorsports park in oak ridge
Bump. This would be awesome and input from the public is very helpful. Emails are great, and anyone that's able to attend the actual meeting and speak a few words of support during public input would also be very helpful.
