PID=pittsburgh international dragway which was in bridgeville. the track still exist but has been used for trailer storage for many years. it was a premier track up until it was shut down. so i am assuming there is talks of reopening which would be badass but prob unlikely. ---

Evidently this is the where the problem is coming from… Brian J. Gearhart Pennsylvania Department of Transportation 400 North Street P.O. Box 3457 Harrisburg, PA 17105-3457 Phone: (717)-705-1260 E-mail: [brgearhart@state.pa.us](mailto:brgearhart@state.pa.us) Feel free to inundate this person with your complaints about shutting down the FLD at the local airports. Make sure he understands that: the airports and the local municipalities receive revenue from these events, having these events makes the streets and highways of Pennsylvania safer by giving street racers a venue, and that he is depriving families in those areas of a safe, fun form of entertainment. It is really the spectators that he is hurting here…the racers will move on to whatever new locations are scheduled. The thousands of families that came to watch these events are really the ones who are going to lose out on a fun afternoon of cheap family entertainment. Seems like there always has to be one bureaucrat or politician with his head up his ass that screws it up for everyone… ---

By the sounds of it no airport in PA will be allowed to do this. But, didn’t it say it was a federal mandate?? So Ohio is just choosing to not enforce it yet? ---

Beaverun would be awesome. Not sure how they would pull it off space wise but its an interesting proposition. Quik83Z we should roll out some time. I live right up the street from you. ---

IMO Beaver Run sucked for a venue. they raced on the front stretch. Cars had traction issues and it was hard to get a good view. ---

Ok I can’t keep quiet about this anymore. This is total BS. We all know none of those airports are honestly THAT busy, so any extra income they could get was loved. To me, this honestly perpetuates that they PROMOTE street racing, by taking away one of the few LEGAL ways of racing for us. I’m just thrilled to pieces that if I wanna run my friends car to see who’ll win, so much for waiting for the nice 20 min drive to find out, but now a freaking hour plus drive… I can’t wait to get pulled over all the time this summer because now people to lazy to drive out to Ohio to race are ganna start racing on the highways, and so any modded import is ganna be a driving target. Yea, it’s an extreme example, but let’s face it, Butler is notorious for idiots. I honestly think this needs to be brought up with the media or something. Hell, loan me the money to buy the 1/8th mile of property that they arn’t using downtown Butler and I’ll build a strip there. All this spurred by the article that appeared in the Butler Eagle tonight.
