The biggest thing I’m curious about is just how seriously will this be taken? I know it’s a lot better looking than the average online petition but it’s still just an online petition. Quoting snopes, they are worth about as much as “a blank piece of paper.” ---

It’s actually the Liberal party that’s been in power that opposes the track from the political standpoint. The local Conservative party has been much more supportive. ---

Problem is, I’d think it would be quite a bit more expensive and harder to reserve days since its a higher profile track with more events going on than Dunnville. Figures that it gets shut down right when I move close enough to make it to some track days. ---

It never crossed my mind before the added stink factor for the owner of Dunnville having a maintained fleet of formula cars in the hanger. What do you do in that situation? “FS: Dozen Formula cars- $100,000” ??? ---

Problem is, I’d think it would be quite a bit more expensive and harder to reserve days since its a higher profile track with more events going on than Dunnville. Figures that it gets shut down right when I move close enough to make it to some track days. Yes it is more expencive, but not out of reach. You can get a 2day club event for $450. Those are usually like a Monday and Tuesday events. Is it free NOPE, but you have to pay to play. I think that it is ~$15,000 to use the track for 1 day with full EMT’s flaggers and stuff. So any club has some real costs to cover. They only really “close” the track 2x a year durring race season Nascar and INDY weekend. Other than that its allways open. GOOD LUCK DUNNVILLE! ---

dunnville = $100 for 6 hours = $16 per hour the glen = ~ $350 for two days in which you’ll drive about 4 hours total = $87 per hour. I love the glen, but the price difference per hour is a LOT better at dunnville.
