keith piette assisted on underwoods marker by kelly connelly does stouffville need a motor speedway last night the town planning committee will have listened to an ambitious group of former race car drivers indicate their intent to build a race track and automotive industrial park oh the southeast corner of hwy 48 and bloomington side road this grandiose scheme would cost about 7million and occupy 62 acres of relatively barren land adjacent to the oval track drag strip and automotive retail and commercial shops would lie an offroad course theres already sufficient dirt mud and hills for that tricky- terrain thrill nate salter and gord hooper the men who recently formed a cor poration called stouffville motor speedway have been toying with the idea of a race park for the past two years last night they will have attempted to sell that toy to town planner michael saunders and company they defend their choice of site stouffville for the following reasons 1 the towns close proximity to toronto where a substantial number of residents engage in race car events 2 stouffville needs development and ontario needs a speedway in the toronto area 3 it would generate capital by increasing the flow of travellers to stouffville shops restaurants and gas stations the speedway would have seating for 10000 4 it would create 30 fulltime administrative jobs 300 jobs within the automotive industrial units and employ about 100 kids on any given race night 5 it would provide a sanctioned outlet for teen speedsters who drag with their friends on public roads illegally a speedway isnt just a hole in the ground with asphalt said salter in a recent interview automobile racing helps kids who arent superior athletes physically get behind the wheel and compete on an equal plane with others i was short and fat but i could drive a car faster than anyone else recalled the former oval track racer its the ultimate walter mitty escape everybody in the stands has a chance to compete fair enough but what about the stouffville residents theres al ways a few who will inevitably complain about the noise and exhaust pollution these scream machines will spit out our entire season would create less pollution than one aircraft taking off at pearson international airport contended salter the speedway and drag strip would be in the bowl of the existing gravel pit which would retain sound and form a natural amphitheatre gravel trucks make more noise than hightech competition mufflers he challenged i agree with salter that the timing is right to pursue the venture in stouffville since the canadian national exhibition and molsons breweries after years of fighting huffy ear and nose sensative resi dents will host torontos firstever molson indy july 1820 but toronto is a long way from the idolized speedway mccca that permeates european society in other words were not racing fana tics yet agreed the cne and stouffville proposition allude that attitudes might be changing i do have one concern about a stouffville motorspeedway though all this talk about it being built by 1987 is generously optimistic until this summer parkdale residents and certain politicians for the last 10 years had effectively prevented the indy event from taking place in toronto speedways arent built overnight stouffville panther stars represent york region quote of the week our entire
