Re: The "races"
Another thing that just doesn't make any sense to me is this: How are you going to come into a parking lot and kick everyone out onto the streets? It just seems like a bad idea to me. A bunch of modified cars with drivers who are pissed off about being kicked out. It's like a bad formula for setting up multiple street races. If they wanted to stop the street racing that goes on, why not just post up a couple cops there? Seems pretty simple, right? Hell, they could even have the cops sit in the parking lot. That wouldn't bother me in the least. I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm just hanging out with my friends. If someone wants to go race, that's their deal.

Re: The "races"
Find a new spot. The big problem is people start going out their at like 8pm, which are usually the stupid ricers. So by the time everyone else gets out there, they already ruined it. You will need to have a spot for everyone to meet up and hang out, and go to littlecreeke for what it used to be used for.

Like, I had a thought, The Norfolk Airport not far from Robin Hood road, could open a Runway for all of us to run, Ya know? I mean hell I'd even pay 10 dollars or so for an entry fee to run at night at the runway. At the same time that money could go to charity's or the police department and at the same time it would keep the streets safer etc etc. Does that sound logical?

But if your not in the military, and we get this to work for you, then the only thing i think most of us would ask from you guys, is to go out to where we are allowed to meet up, and be civilized, take all the dumb shit somewhere else ya know....its just a suggestion , but im sure some people on this board have pull
That being said, calling your congressman would have no bearing on you traspassing on someone else's property, because that's what you're doing. Congress won't get involved because they'd get the shit sued out of them. The right to throw people off your property is constitutionally guaranteed.

A place to race is a different subject. People have been trying to make that happen for some time.
A place for people to hang out, rev their engines, do burnouts, throw trash, get in fights, set up street races and be generally disorderly, however is not liekly going to be offered up by the public any time soon.

Re: The "races"
ok, so for all of you that are complaining about a spot to hang out at.. have you street raced in the last 3 months?
why should they allow you all to hang out in a parking lot knowing that some of you will most likely set-up a race
also, think about all the trash people leave behind.. who has to clean that up? either the city or the owners of the property
