I say the SAME thing for Lansing. Hell, Lansing prides itself in being a town for GM & Oldsmobile. Yet, aside from a car show that occurs 3 times a year, Lansing refuses to do anything else. They won't even allow weekend hang-outs anywhere.... Even attempt to remove people from private property where permission has been granted and when that doesn't work, they just sit and wait in lots nearby.
The crowd here that would go to the dragstrip is huge for the size of the town - and theres lots of areas surrounding Lansing that would be perfect..... Yet, nobody who wants to do it and the city officials that have a hardon about keeping car and racing enthusiasts off the street and out of sight.
