Boohoo, there are less tracks. I have less money so i am going to rob a bank.


Just because you don't have access to something, doesn't mean you can break the law.

the "Bridge" was a Great track and I'm glad I ran there once before they closed!

Real Estate Values and the tight-asses that live near Track have ruined it for a lot of us

Many tracks have closed, nearest one is at least an hour and a half away.

Much of this is from people moving in next to a race track then complaining to township officials about noise.

They're too stupid to recon the neighborhood before buying the house, so everyone has to pay.

I’m shocked the Portland Police were allowed to do something. Must not be many blm terrorists racing cars. Too busy looting and burning down buildings.

Burn buildings, not tires.

Seems that just about every OT thread regardless of what it is steers towards politics, name of forum should be changed to Political5.

Schools are not responsible for teaching your kids how to behave, you as a parent have that responsibility; as a kid i was told that my actions once i walked out that door would reflect on the rest of the family so it kept me straight regardless of where or who i was around(yes i did go to public school).

If kids and young adults look at TV as a role then you have to ask yourself where have you failed, perhaps the material things did not matter as much as being around to teach your kids right from wrong.

But there are so many brilliant political analysts on this forum, what will we do without their detailed insight?

The only flaw with that is many parents don't teach their kids manners, respect, responsibility, or much of anything else. They let the schools do it all, that's why there are school breakfast now along with lunch. There are many parents who shouldn't be.

When the pandemic hit there was a cry from people about all the kids that were going to go hungry because all the schools are closed.

There's a huge segment of the population that depends on government assistance in every facet of their lives.
Sad really.
It's how we got to where we are today. It's only going to get worse in the next few years.

Kommiefornia and the peoples republic of new jersey stomp all over the bill of rights (2a) so not good examples for me, but Florida i.e polk county hay if you play you pay.
What kind of L.E.O. are you? City cop? Deputy sheriff? Meter maid?
