ATTN: Inland Empire/Palm Springs (all of socal, really)!! Re: Mopar Drag City
Hopefully most of you have heard about Mopar Drag City, the attempt to open an NHRA-quality drag strip in Banning, CA. It promised to have weekly street legal drags and also host actual drag events. Specifically top fuel and the pro import drag racing, the kind of stuff you see on SPEED channel and ESPN.
It's mostly important because it will keep a lot of people who venture out to Ontario and other places from having to do that on the weekends. They don't need to be street racing when they can pay 25 bucks and get all-you-can-race race weekends! Theres no need to risk your life and the lives of others, and of course your cars, getting arrested, getting beat up or shot (it happens)... If you live in or around Palm Springs or the Inland Empire (Banning, specifically). Its necessary that your voice is heard to help plead our case to City officials!!
The point is: they are trying to shut down the project. The original investors pulled some shady stuff and weren't putting up the cash. The owners are now in sole possession of everything relating to it now, but it came just a little too late. We can help extend the life of this project by signing the petition at the very least. What I would like is for some people to go and let their voices be heard at the City Council Meeting on January 10th!

While the City of Banning considers the Drag City project dead. The Planning Commission has set this matter to be discussed at a revocation hearing in order to afford the Drag City project any due process rights which is entitled under the Code or the laws of the State of California or the United States. The hearing will take place at a special meeting of the Planing Commission of the City of Banning to be held at 6:30pm on January 10, 2008 at the City Council Chambers in the Banning City hall located at 99 East Ramsey Street.
At the revocation hearing, the City will present evidence as to the expiration of the UUP and will request that the Planning Commission formally revoke the UUP, which revocation will have the effect of also terminating the DA. Upon completion of the City's presentation, Drag City will have the opportunity to submit evidence and arguments on it's own behalf. The Public is also allowed to speak on the issue as well and are invited to comment on the matter. This is your chance to make a difference! Let others know that if they want a weekly drag strip to keep kids off the street in Southern California then they should BE THERE! Tell Racers,Tell the Media, Tell Celebrities, Tell Everyone!
Thank You!</TD></TR></TABLE>
