undr_psi Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Please help the proposed Cooper park complex. If you would like to see a state of the art race facility here in central Ohio go to http://coopertalk.info and sign the online petition and let your voice be heard. But don't stop there, help spread the word of the good this will do for Columbus, not... only for new jobs, but how cool will it be to have a local track here in the heart of Ohio.

KStang3.8 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 huh, seems like a cool idea. Can someone tell me more details please? like, would it have a drag track (1/4 mile) or would it just be a nascar type of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KStang3.8 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 The website makes it extremely unclear and hard to find the answer to the question i asked. how about you just answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 No 1320, the complex will also be home for x-game type stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No The track will be a teardrop shape, aimed to get groups liek ARCA and NASA here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitual Sinner Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 No 1/4 mi. No care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 No 1/4 mi. No care. So, you'd rather have your tax dollars wasted on a "SkyGarden" than support a PRIVATE MONEY to come into the area and put in a center that will bring money to the city, WITHOUT taxing you? Brilliant.

KStang3.8 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 No 1/4 mi. No care. agreed. So, you'd rather have your tax dollars wasted on a "SkyGarden" than support a PRIVATE MONEY to come into the area and put in a center that will bring money to the city, WITHOUT taxing you? Brilliant. I'd rather have that thing. Looks cool. The track seems dumb to me. I'm not ever going race on it, and i'm not ever going to go watch a race, but i probably would check out that sky garden. Don't let me discourage those of you who want it though. I'm not gonna vote or campaign against it or anything like that. I just don't care, as Habitual Sinner stated.

Habitual Sinner Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'm not saying it's a bad idea. I'm just saying that I have no care/use for the types of events that will be held there. And I don't exactly agree with the area. I can guarantee there will be a record number of thefts during the first event alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitual Sinner Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 But both seller and prospective buyer envision a motorsports complex with nice restaurants and a speedway, drag strip and go-kart track that would lure hot-rod races, car clubs and rallies. I liked the original idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitual Sinner Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 To everyone here who calls themselves racing enthusiasts.. PSSSH, right.

TURBOED Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 For those saying they will never race on it/don't care for it... it should be noted that the Arshot group has been VERY welcome to hearing the SCCA's wants/needs for the infield to be paved, so that we can hold autocross events there. Maybe you're still sitting there thinking "ok, but I don't care about autocross." But, at least realize that many members on this forum would benefit firsthand if this park goes through. Plus, as was mentioned, would you rather a private business, or a tax funded <anything>? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that many CR members would have an intrest in the park. I never said it was a bad idea, just not my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farkas Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Again I agree 100%. You should look into opening a popsicle stand instead of a race track.. it'd be grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 If this all happens, it will be awesome sauce. Glad there will be a sweet track close by to have fun on, better than having to take a trip to Nelson. I had more anti-1320 stuff prepared, but I would just get flamed for it, so I cut it out.
