William and I, along with several others, including Billy Atkins from Legends bank, did appear and speak on the behalf of the Clarksville Speedway last week where David Allen introduced the proposed ordinance to the safety committee which included several other City Council members. David Allen is relentless in his opinion of the Speedway. He seems to be hung up on the Friday night show where our youth gather to drive their street legal vehicles down the drag strip and otherwise socialize. He fails to recognize the fact that these are street legal vehicles which would otherwise be on the streets in an uncontrolled environment if not for the speedway. Again, these vehicles are street legal and would not otherwise violate any noise regulations regardless of where driven in our city. David Allen is attempting to restrict the tracks operating hours, days of operation, and your enjoyment of the facility through a proposed noise ordinance. This proposed ordinance would only allow the track to operate during certain hours and only three days per week, one of which must be Sunday between the hours of noon and 6 P.M.. We've added an Electronic Petition to our website http://cts.vresp.com/c/?LutLotLiquidations/9fcbf61a30/724a18d5af/96a69a5170 which we are asking our supporters to sign. Please sign the petition to help save the Speedway and your enjoyment of the facility. Furthermore, if you live in the City Limits of Clarksville, please contact your Councilman for your ward and ask that they vote against the proposed ordinance. Contact information can be found for your councilman here: http://cts.vresp.com/c/?LutLotLiquidations/9fcbf61a30/724a18d5af/aa46be1073 If contacting your Councilmember to ask them to vote against the ordinance, please remain courteous and respectful as you'll get much further with them. We also ask that there are no harrassing communications to Mr. Allen as he is entitled to his opinion - even if wrong. Tonight should be a beautiful night for racing. Come out and join us! William and I will be available most of the night and would welcome the opportunity to chat with you. Thanks again, John McConnell Clarksville Speedway ______________________________________________________________________ If you no longer wish to receive these emails, please reply to this message with "Unsubscribe" in the subject line or simply click on the following link: http://cts.vresp.com/u?9fcbf61a30/724a18d5af/ ______________________________________________________________________ This message was sent by Clarksville Speedway using VerticalResponse Clarsviile Speedway 1600 Needmore Rd Clarksville, TN 37043 Read the VerticalResponse marketing policy: http://www.verticalresponse.com/content/pm_policy.html
