Message: [QUOTE="Jeff Gilbert, post: 1045145, member: 20280"] It's a shame but you have to face reality. As the burbs get bigger, the more difficult it will become for a lot of riding places to stay afloat. Burleson is a prime example. The only thing that seperates that track (which is also a working ranch) from some realitively higher prices homes is a golf coarse and a creek. I have a friend that doesn't ride but plays golf at the track by burleson with some of the local home owners there and the track is all they *itch about. I don't know how the track here in Waco stays open even though I'm the president of the motorcycle club. There is a house about 500 yards from the bowl turn at the end of a straight away. Roost and noise has to rattle everything in thier house but they never complain. We do have a grandfather clause on our property that designates it's use and beiing that we bought it and have been using it for this purpose since 1948 may make a difference. For people the people that build a track within 20 miles of anything to me is just poor business planning. Good luck to Mark, I think the best thing he could do is sell his land and relocate with enough foresight to carry him several years. [/QUOTE]
