[QUOTE="rockchucker, post: 467571, member: 16750"] The fuel issue wasn't related to storage. It was related to the massive generator that leaked like a sib. The EPA got wind of this and then filed a complaint as there was fear it was leaking into the Trinity river. The City was turned onto Mosier due to an accident with a lightpole that fell on the infield. Apparently it came dangerously close to hurting a rider and that is when the trouble began. At that point they started a list of complaints: Grandstands, generator, no permits for races, concessions (didn't have license/permit from health dept) etc. Mosier has had its ups and downs, this is definitely bad. I'm all for supporting the track but I disagree with the comment that Jerry has taken great care of it. In the past Surber would lease the land and leave track maintenance to the responsibility of whoever was occupying it. Maintenance has gotten better this year but in previous years the track was in terrible shape.. unless it was close to a GNC weekend. As a former mosier employee.. way back in the day.. the track has seen better. As a rider/racer... we pay our practice/race fee's for a reason. Racing the GNC there can be downright expensive(over $100 for one rider). To my understanding he has rights to the GNC as it's his series. My point: If the track is so well managed why is it in so much trouble? And what can we do to help? Can someone help explain the legal support these petitions carry as they seem like legal CYA to me? And in light of all this.. Surber has been trying to sell the track for the last year.. at least. You guys get my point? As for the city.. well.. it's a matter of opinion. I don't think the city is going to be the biggest threat, it's the development that being done just North of the property. I can see noise being an issue. Don't know if the grandfather clause protects the track against epa complaints or not. Mosier needs help, it would be a huge loss for it to close. Anything anyone can do would be appreciated. I love the place. But I don't believe this is our usual big city govt vs local track issue. Everyone knows our sport is looked down on, to a degree, by the govt and various tree-hugging groups. Knowing that: Why provide them the ammo? I hate to say this but maybe the only thing that can save the track is if someone purchases it? Man I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm not coming across as anti-mosier, I am not. Just want everyone to know as much as possible so they can be better prepared. [/QUOTE]
