Help save a racetrack !

As some of you might know, The Westhampton Race Facility is going to be sold to a housing developer with plans to......well build more houses. Currently, the zoning laws prohibit residential construction on the track site. This news was also featured in Newsday, a local paper of the New York Area.
This is the last drag strip on Long Island and the only other race venue out there is Riverhead which caters to the oval crowd.

Even if drag racing is not your style, raced there and disliked it, or never ran there, please sign the petition below as your vote and signature still counts.

As some of you racers know, tracks across the US are slowly closing up as the need for more shopping malls, housing developments, and golf courses arise. Here is your chance to give a little of your time and help to prevent win for corporate greed.
