Hey, that would be nice, Call the Mayor,,,,he is a millionair,,,maybe he would foot the bill,,,thier are several spots they could put up a strip,,,If you look at the one in Lapeer, it is nothing special,,,just a long rd, with a fence around it,,and some bleachers |

The Don did have one of his proposals to bring to Flint a Race Track. I thought it was a great idea. Thus one of the reasons I voted for him. But it's just lik his petting zoo in Flint township. Oops there isn't one. |

Ted,
there are plenty of petting zoos already in Flint. They are located mainly along Dort, they are also known as "gentlemen's clubs"
huuuuh huuuuuh [sound of heavy breathing]
The donald sold his Brainerd [i always like that name] Minnesota race track.
Not sure he'd be interested in pissing any more of his money away on a similar business closer to home. |

The thing is... well here are some of my silly ideas from back in the 80's. I thought instead of the OLD IMA becoming autoworld. It should have become an aquarium, like they Shed in Chicago. Or even left it as an IMAX like they have in Indianapolis (or possibly soon to be in GB).
I thought the Property from Buick would make a great place for a Race Track NASCAR Track with a Drag Strip. There is plenty of space left along the River there. most everything around Buick City is Gone, Allen Allied, Dupont, Buick Headquarters building, the Bank, the plants, etc.
when they made plans for a casino and had the votes. I thought that was a great idea also. But all of a sudden The Buick City property jumped up and landed in an abscure part of Flint Known as Mt Morris.
I thought Back in the 80's the Durant should have been made into housing for the college. Down in Detroit. The School for creative studies has done pretty well with buildings in the same shape.
I've been working on ideas for the genesse tower.
I thought Dominos might be interested in it as a new headquarters. But when they were looking a few years back. No one in city government picked up on my idea, least wise no one contacted the when I suggestted it.
I've also thought it could be remodelled into almost a completely self contained city. Make a few floors of apartments. Put in a pool, Some indoor tennis courts, a gym. A few small resturants on the main or first few floors. A Barber shop, Maybe even a few floors for the elderly living. It has parking. It has got to have more steady income to remain open. Some offices, some apartments, health club, resturants, small grocery, drug store. Add some security cameras, and guards. It's be a pretty safe place to live.
Just some of my crazy ideas! |

Not to mention that us race fans would be spending our money in Flint, instead of Stanton or Milan. |

A dragstrip alone would bring lots of revenue with out anything else like a sports complex it would be to much! and there would be no crime factor like a casino i wish we had both in flint i love to gamble but flint needs something other than GM to survive and a dragstrip would be the best option it could be sponsored by IHRA or NHRA people would come from ohio, lapeer, detroit, lansing,and many more surrounding places to enjoy a new track. for many years, if anyone that reads this knows what a dragstrip can make as far as money consider food stands and major events weekend events monthly events and many more flint used to be an atracttion a dragstip would make it that way again |

It's already been discussed by those in the know. Ain't gonna happen...the powers that be in NASCAR and SEMA won't allow it. |

nascar and sema cant stop if it its what the people want then they have no say and they still have no say because NHRA and IHRA are large if they want it done it will get done and the people will come if they build it! and thats the bottom line!!!!!! |
