Please vote YES for a New Road course
Guys,
We are trying to build a speedway here in South Jersey. Things were going real well until some "do gooders" loaded up the polls last night. I figure if they can dirty up this vote against a speedway maybe I can help the yes vote! Please take a few minutes and go to the web site and vote YES for our speedway!
PLEASE GO TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOME PAGE IN THE VERTICAL COLUMN AND VOTE YES FOR THE PROJECT.

Thank You
I know that most of you won't come to NJ to use it but please vote YES anyway... thanks We need all the tracks we can get to drive our great cars on- the street is, well just unsafe.

Controversy appears to be building regarding the proposed $100 million motorsports complex in Millville.
A hint of how intense the battle could become appeared when we received several calls over the weekend about The Daily Journal's online poll (www.thedailyjournal.com), which asked readers whether they support the construction of the motorsports park. We wondered about it, too, considering that more than 5,099 votes were counted (59.9 percent for building it and 40.1 percent against), far outdistancing any numbers tallied in the dozens of unscientific polls we've run before last week.
People questioned the poll results, and supporters of the plan openly wondered whether opponents were somehow manipulating the results.
Those questions will be addressed in Saturday's On The Record column. Our concern now is the danger that supporters and opponents of the plan are forming entrenched positions. This would threaten productive discussion of the issues.
Supporters of the New Jersey Motorsports Park say the raceway, country club, conference center and hotels will bring more than 1,500 jobs and much-needed tax revenue to the city. It could be an attraction used to boost tourism in downtown Millville, not to mention the go-karting track and ATV trails to benefit local riders. And, they say the racetrack resort will preserve 70 percent of the open space on the 707-acre site, most of which lies within Millville Airport boundaries.
Opponents, however, say not so fast. What about the environmental impact of the racetrack? What about the noise pollution for nearby residents? Can city roads handle the additional traffic? Handling traffic for one weekend a year at the Wheels & Wings Air Show is a far cry from dealing with year-round traffic increases the project would bring.
Those who adamantly oppose the project for environmental reasons most likely will never sit down with the developer and city officials to address the concerns. But we believe that the developer, city leaders and concerned residents should, together, take a look at their issues and address them realistically.
By so doing, we can avoid potential noise and traffic headaches in the future and have a racetrack resort that will benefit the city and residents for years to come.
