well you know things can happen anywhere just saying, i did see pics of the track that being set up at that location. so if you don't have any info you should have kept your half a cents to yourself. did you think about what your saying now.... a onroad track at Iverson Mall why not just as good as any other place. you might have to have a glock in hughsville also like i said anything can happen at anytime or anywhere on any given day. i have been around for a while and the people that gather at these race track are either racing or just spectators even some that are interested in the hobby themselves. i never heard of any problem with outsiders anywhere. Just sayin

Track information
Okay folks, the rumors are true. Ever since 301 went down, lots of people have been working very hard to bring a fixed track back to the DMV area.
We have found a local business owner who is very interested in supporting a track and on-road racing. The proposed site is the top parking deck at Iverson Mall.
We were working earlier this summer to treat the pavement that is currently out there, but it didn't work. The concrete pavement is just too bumpy. Needing over $20,000 to lay down asphalt, we ran into a roadblock. Just yesterday, we believe that we have secured another investor to come through with enough money to pave.
We're working with 150' by 85' rectangle (I know, not 301 length, but should be pretty good space).
What we need from you guys now is your constructive comments. I would like as many people as possible to visit the site as it is, visit the hobby shop, and let them know that you came to check out the proposed track. Don't look too hard at the layout that's painted out there now, we put that down as a proof of concept, and it will change. Don't get hung up with the merchandise in the hobby shop, as it has not been stocked with race products yet.
We are working with investors that aren't vested in this hobby, so they need to get a good feel for how much interest there is and how races will be run. So, if you can make it out to have a look-see, that would be great, but stop in the hobby shop and let the guys know you are there.

Why Iverson Mall?
We didn't choose Iverson Mall, it chose us. Somehow, the proposed track owner found me and said that he had space in Iverson mall and wanted to put track down. I was very skeptical at first for several of the reasons that you may be skeptical too, but check this out:
The mall owner is already on board with the project, and is interested in the track bringing business to the mall.
The mall is already zoned for recreation (so no permit issues)
The parking lot is already lit (night racing available)
The track owner owns a security company that is headquartered at Iverson Mall, and is dedicated to securing the area.
The mall has bathrooms, food, and vending on location.

What I don't understand is why anyone would own a "glock" in red neck Hugesvile, Maryland! I know what I am talking about because I went to high school in the area and played sports against those neighboring high schools, and Trixter's comment doesn't surprise me.... especially if he is from the area and/or shares that commuinity's personality types.
You know "Trixter" please don't embrassed that college you attended by posting it, via Paul's comment LOL
Enough said, So Ted you know you have my support for developing this out door onroad track..(Long Live Fast Lane) just hope we are considering 1/5 scale? Keep me posted or call me. Good to see that you are back!
