3)nerd and jt1-Open your eyes,dammit,the whole park wasn't paved over-just the small area that is the paddock.The rest of the park remains as it was,good and bad.
4)Our activity doesn't prevent anyone else from using the island.And we attract many interested spectators who are already visiting the island.
5)Almost all of our cars are street legal cars,driven onto and off the island so the noise they make is nowhere near a full tilt race car.Go down by the Conservatory or the Dossin or even the other side of the casino and you can't hear our event at all.
6)I didn't miss the point of the park's usage.Hooking and drug use are illegal activities,motorsports isn't.
7)jt1,go F yourself in spades.I repeat,WE ONLY USE THE PADDOCK.THE REST OF THE ISLAND IS OPEN AS USUAL AND UNCHANGED! Get over your misconceptions,you PC whiners!Come down some Sunday and see exactly what we're about.And then tour the island while our event is happening and notice if you can hear our activity in different spots[[especially over the noise of the cycles and blaring stereos) on the island.
8)I've never been to Heritage Park so I have no conception of it's size.Is it as big as Belle Isle?
