I got this email in my inbox this morning....here is the main part of it-

There will be a meeting on Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 at 6:00PM, held at the Town Hall for the Town of Paris located at 16607 Burlington Rd, Union Grove, WI. This meeting will be in regards to a study of noise and light pollution alleged to eminate from Great Lakes Dragaway. If you can possibly make it to this meeting, we would GREATLY appreciate it! We need as many fans of GLD as possible. We are sorry for the short notice, as the town scheduled this meeting with very little advance notice. Tell EVERYONE you know who is either a racer or a fan of the sport! This is VERY important and we need your support!!

No good can come from a meeting like this. Its a shame the town did not give more notice, but they knew what they were doing. Hope you guys don't loose your dragway.

What a croc! That track has been around, in the middle of nowhere, since the mid-50s. Suddenly it's a problem?

I just got the email too,thanks DC..
The only thing worse then the initial nature of this meeting,is the late public advance notice about it.

If you care to contact some of the "Authorities" and voice your opinion here are some contacts. And remember, you're near Chicago so 'Vote Early and Vote Often'.

I would contact the city and ask them why there was such short notice?

They have to provide a reasonable amount of advance notice of the proposed meeting and have to send out a notice to the surrounding houses and businesses...or I'd ask them to table the discussion unitl a reasonable amount of time can be given....

Somebody please help me with the term "light pollution". I really hope that that is not in reference to the track lighting being visible from a distance and being to bright or something. Some people would just tend to call that "civilization"!

This...someone more familiar with Sunshine laws can chime in here, but there are standards for amount of notice, type of notice, etc, that must be given in regards to public meetings.

Gripes my soul to hear of another track threatened with closure...I swear, people get more ignorant by the day. It's comparable to me moving next to an airport, then complaining about planes flying over...
