> I’m assuming this Dunnville closing crap pretty much happened from the 73 year old guy dying there a month ago… The legal system can’t let the track run without proper zoning (A building close enough to the track for a car to slam into and kill a guy?) and track status certification…

Nothing to do with the guy dying. You probably have a better chance dying at Mosport. Old guy died before he hit the wall anyways. And the building isn’t close to the track at all. If you’ve been there, you’d understand.

The main reason is pretty much the residents who get annoyed at car exhausts and so on. Dunnville being a small town and all, those 120 families is considered a pretty big thing.

To be fair, although all of us here are car enthusiasts…assume that you aren’t…and every weekend you get 30 - 60 cars driving by with exhausts…some of them ripping it up, etc.  
Wouldn’t you be annoyed with it? It’s almost as bad as those dudes with loud systems that have their bass pumping. I’m only 22 but I already find that annoying.

Also, there’s not much to do in that town except fishing and camping. Old people love to start fights and issues / complain. They are usually the ones who’d wait for you to park on the side of the road and call the town’s parking enforcement right away.
