There is no reason why a group of racers anywhere couldn't do the same thing.

There are guys all over that have taken the time to talk to city governments, gone to dozens of comitee meetings and have gotten them to pave tracks, build off road tracks or make parking lots available. It take a long time to get this done but it is possible with a moderate effort.
This is the key message that needs to get out. This is the reason there is the NFL, NASCAR, NBA, MLB etc. they are started from "clubs" that formed leagues and it grew from there. Sure they are the extreme example but they are still proof that anything can happen if people stop complaining and start doing something about it.
