No Dragway For You

[proengines]

You've got to love this Stanhope Government, he let our city burn down and then "didn't accept" the Coroners findings when they were handed down, slaughtered more than a thousand kangaroos at Googong to placate a few whinging farmers and then couldn't comment because he told the officials not to tell him anything about what was going on so he couldn't be questioned about it, promised a drag strip if they were voted in at the last election and then spent millions to try and find a way not to build it and then announce that they wont a couple of days before Christmas hoping that people will forget about it by the time next year comes around.. the blokes a f**kwit.

I knew there was a reason I moved to Queanbeyan.

VOTE LIBERAL. Not just cos they might give us a dragway, but they are a better government anyways. My opinion of course, but labour has a bad habit of giving power to the minorities.

[Mr Italy!]

Well i guess everyones gonna have to continue to street race.

I'm with G.

We were ALWAYS getting a dragstrip,in the same way we were ALWAYS going to get a truthful Government that is actually there for our best interests(not just car stuff,either...). They don't give a toss about the minority in anything,and will only bend over to the affluent and impressionable. F**k 'em.

[gun32gtr]

And it those same people who complain about the noise that also complain about 'hoons'.

Give us some where to have fun with our cars, then we have no excuse to do it on the roads!

exactly mate,people complain about fast cars on streets,give them a place to have fun in a controled place....

[r33skyflyin]

That sux so much!!!! They are trying to stop street drag racing, Burnouts, and P Plate accidents. I am a P Plater with a modified skyline, who like most skyline owners is always interested to know how their car matches up against other makes ect in a straight line. Vote the LIBS i say, and lets get that 3am cruise on the way.

I don't think it matters which way you vote;we're a minority,and considered an antisocial one at that. We were promised that the dragstrip would be built if the last lot got voted in;they did,and it wont be built. The next lot will tell us what we want to hear just to get into power. I don't believe for one minute that they'll build us a strip just because the outgoing idiots didn't. We'd be mugs to believe it for a second time....and I believe we're here,driving superior cars to most,because we're not fools. So,it's off to WSID for me,unfortunately.

Dragstrip, F1 Grandprix, Superbikes, V8 super cars...what promise hasnt been broken. They will never wake up to the profits and tourism by having a gr8 Nations Capital hosting the events that every Ausie loves.

FFS the capital was placed between Sydney and Melbourne to be more than to have the piss taken as the seat of government.

I'm tired having cheap shots by other states for the government of Aus that doesn't even live here and runs the flamin mongrelry from afar.

Bad sex toy shops, shite gambling casino and fireworks...wooohooo! yeah gr8 thanks'..... ya bunch of parlimentry shmucks. FU2

[low200]

Yeh when i have friends come in from out of state i STRUGGLE to find things to do that

a) arent the lame touristy things (ie, nat museum. carillion etc)

b) arent going to civic coz thats teh c00l3st!!

c) arent sitting around fapping from the pr0n shops... never mind

[GT-PASSAGE]

Sweet, by the ACT Gov saying no to the drag way, that means yes to racing on the streets right???? Well thats how I see it, especially around hackett and north canberra.

Ohh and btw the 2 long black strips past the Hackett shops were done by me at 5am.

Mate, all this project needed was a greater percentage of the community that likes motorsport to know about it. Think about this:

ALL of the whinging greenies knew about the proposal, hated it, said so.

FEW of the potential supporters of the proposal knew of its existance and so, said nothing.

When a group fighting for a cause like this is asked repeatedly for information to print to help support their proposal and don't even return a simple email, they shouldn't expect any support from the motorsport fan community because, simply, they don't know the cause exists.

I'm sad the ACT track has been hit on the head. It would give me another track to race at just 2 hours away from me - believe me, i'd make the trip - but if it did get off the ground, i'm afraid the people running it would be so arse-backwards that it'd fall over under its own steam soon enough.

Werd. Unfortunately.

I used to race at the old track here and it was brilliantly run, Jeff Develin worked incredibly hard to get the last track up and running and invested a lot of his own time and money to do it. If running the track was left up to him and the group that ran the last track it would do very well.
