Fort Erie NASCAR Track (Canadian Motor Speedway) *Construction: 2017*

This would give me an excuse to get off my ass and get my passport / enhanced license. Tired of sneaking over the railroad bridge.

made it to Autoblog

I doubt thats going to be the case between having to cover the costs of construction and the proximity to Toronto… AND thats before you even factor in the value of the Canadian dollar.

I do have to say though how great just having a semi local track will be again.

The Track is fenced in…it can’t possibly hurt the Bobolinks…

I think they are worried more about them losing their home, not necessarily them getting into the track.

A Bobolink is a bird.

The Common Tern managed to derail the Signature Bridge project, lets see what the Bobolink does to this track.

What a surprise, lol.

birds… lol I bet if they were building a golf course nobody would care

Only in Canada do they put an ice rink in the middle of a race track…

According to their facebook page, the final appeal against the track is March 21st.

Mike, is that open? Can we go to support it?

Dunno. You can ask them on their facebook page. IMO, judging by what’s been going on, I’d say it’s already a done deal. But who knows when the hippies are involved. I’m headed to Florida though, so I won’t be going.

I’ve haven’t been on Facebook in over 6 months, lol.

Final Appeal against was denied. They are planning a groundbreaking ceremony. Hopefully it still includes a road course hahahaha. (the road course bit is me joking around that after all that wouldn’t it suck if they just built the oval, I have no inside knowledge on this topic).
