Well ICAR is close and cheap
Yeah but their drag strip sucks, big time

The whole noise reasoning is bullshit. Put a dB limit in place like most race tracks do - problem solved.
What happened to ASE is someone got paid the right amount of money at the right time.
You'll never recoup the investment on such a seasonal business. Generally people who open tracks are already stupid rich and have stupid rich friends that buy in. Gone are the days of buying a plot of land, paving and call it a track. Environmental study alone would be depressingPensez vous que quelqu'un un jour va flairer la bonne affaire et ouvrir un nouveau centre motorisé dison a moitier chemin entre Quebec et Montreal, piste de drag, lapping, drift, kart, motocross et l'hiver drag de ski-doo, sno-cross, drift sur fond glacé.
Oui ca demanderais un gros investissement, mais avec toute les piste qui ferme, je peux pas croire que ce genre de complexe ne pourrais pas etre rentable.

In the end the owners of the place got good coin and the city solved an issue. The losers are the enthusiasts once againYou are so damn wrong it's depressing.

That's exactly what I'm on about. We all know the story. It's take this offer or nothing. We all knew the tracks days were numberedOwner got quarters on the dollar.
Le plan d'Allan était de léguer la piste à ses fils. So the amount he got doesn't matter, it's not what he wanted to do.
City sat him down and said "take this offer, or take nothing and at the end loose everything anyways". There was some major stuff that the city wanted to fuck with too to force him to close anyways...
I won't go into details because I'm not certain what's public knowledge, and I don't want to start a speculation bullshit thread. I'm just tired of the Labrosse family getting shit on when they are hurting just as much as us.
And yes. We are all losers in this at the end of the day... The city of St-Eustache can get f-cked.
='(
Well obviously the owners took the deal or face a fight over expropriation which the city then passes most unfavorable bylawsThere's no such thing as take nothing, everyone has rights.
it must be near impossible to build a new track from scratch, what with cost of construction and land, and city noise and pollution regulations.
Any chance that there are a few acres in a near-by butt-fuck nowhere for sale? Enthusiast group buy and build a track, or finding investors?
Why do we need another track in near-by butt-fuck nowhere when you can already go to LCMT or Calabogie?
