For all the main channel comments. I actually get better response to things like this on the second channel. I will put this on the main channel in a different way. I obviously consider these types of things but thank you for all the reminders 😂
Need to make the developer responsible for noise mitigation, not the track owners.
@Benny G this is true I just meant as a last resort sorta deal.
You damn well I sent an email, we can’t lose our content😂😂
Make a Tshirt and stickers so people can wear their support. Start a petition.
I’m guessing that the developers already bought the land, and they won’t give it up at cost, as long as there’s a chance of converting it into residential use. If defeated, then they’ll want to dump it as fast as they can. I don’t know why these developers always do this! You build far enough away from homes, to not annoy them, then they build closer and complain about the noise! It’s like jumping off a tall building, then suing the property owner for your injuries…
Clete, as a zoning official I’m here to help reach out and I’m on board. There are many things we can look at. Environmental impact being one.
@woodmanvictory emissions is nothing compared to bulldoazing, and paving over arcers of land.
Cappp
Bump it up
Bump!
@woodman_victory you can’t see the forest for the trees can you.
I did my part and sent an email just a few minutes ago! Being in Minnesota, I only get a good six months to go racing. I’ve never been to Bradenton or the Freedom Factory, but I know what drag racing means to me, and I’d be heartbroken to lose the track I race at. I always try to support tracks and, more importantly, the people involved with these tracks. They’re the ones who put their livelihood into these places for the rest of us to have a safe environment to do what we love. For that reason alone is enough to give them unconditional support.
Fellow Minnesotan here, just sent the emails as well 🙂

This is exactly what killed Raceway Park in New Jersey. One of the only NHRA tracks in the area and the owners finally had enough of the years of back and forth with the town being called on them by new neighbors on a weekly basis. I’ve sent emails out to everyone in your description and hope that there will be some positive news coming from this!
@Todd Kennedy Likewise. After their closure, the only option was either Atco or Island Dragway. I used to live close to Island and it was a great track, but you’d never get the scale or quality of events that would be held at Raceway Park. Now that I’m close to the Freedom Factory and BMP, I hope that they don’t face the same issue as well.
I’m still pissed off about that
I hope thousands of people show up in person that would be huge!! Garrett does so much for his people and I’m happy to see a racetrack actually getting more and more popular with time. We gotta show up, email and sell out these events at bradenton and the freedom factory!
Written email in opposition sent from Melbourne, Australia. We’re with you mate. The world today is not defined by geographic limitations, we as subscribers and fans have been on a long journey watching and supporting as you grow, and this track means something to all of us, no matter how close or far we are from it. All the best.
@TheZombie_Hooptielife Also sent from the Edmonton area, fingers crossed.
WTF your suppporting this fella but what have we got ? FKN Calder park is dead in the water and nobody even mentions Thunderdome anymore ,why dont you drag your tounge out of Cleets A hole and send your emails so we can get back to Calder and race
Yeah same from Sydney. I hope the track don’t end up like wakefeild in Goulburn
Same From Sydney
Another from melbourne. Can’t see more racetracks be shut down like my local tracks Sandown and Tooradin
This is sad. Sorry to hear you’re facing this, Garrett. I’d show up for you, but I’m self employed and have my own grind going on to keep a roof over my head. Best of luck finding a solution to prevent this from happening!!
Email sent to all of them. We battled the planning commision in our neighborhood and sucessuflly fought off apparments being built next to our housing development. It wouldn’t have been a big deal, but when the houses were being built, we were all told it was going to be retail and then after the houses were built, they said it was going to be apartments and then we found it it was zoned for aprtments the whole time.
Let’s not forget Garrett also went to school to be a lawyer. He is the best to spearhead this! Lets go Cleet!!!
