    seen this on PSCA website. Also everybody needs to go to FACEBOOK and join the group: "SAVE OUR DRAG STRIPS" Lets all help. [FONT=verdana, arial][FONT=verdana, arial][FONT=verdana, arial]Thumbs up Drag Racing Non Profit to Organize a New Track in Souther California

    We had a general meeting today in Moreno Valley, CA with Bill Batey who is a City Councilman for Moreno Valley and an avid Drag Racer.

    He has filed paperwork to establish a Non-Profit Group To purchase a piece of land in Riverside County to build a Premanent Drag Strip. Location has been found, and details of the purchase of the land are being negotiated. The Property is reportedly around 60 acres with enough length to run a 1/4 mile strip. The surrounding area is designated as Industrial Use Only. Location will be revealed when details of the purchase are completed, this is to protect us from losing the land.

    The Group will be called Inland Empire Drag Racing Association
    They will run the facility as a non Profit, so Racing can be a tax deduction!!! All money's made will go to the facility to make it better.

    Mr. Batey, Who is also currently campaigning to for California Assemblyman, has been talking with the city of Perris and Moreno Valley for gettin approval of this property to be used as a Racing Facility. Both Cities are on board to help us make this happen.

    The group started organizing to get the following done:
    Complete the Non Profit Status
    General Plans Drawn up ( a local Engineer Racer is doing them)
    Establish a Web Site and Facebook page for updates on the Group and the facility
    Campaign to get donations for the Purchase of the land and for construction
    Appointed members to organize the finacials, Web Design and organize the construction porcess.

    If you would like more information at this time Please Go To: Save our Drag Strips! on Facebook.
    A Website will be up, hopefully in the next 2 weeks for the group/track.

    If you would like to Join the group or Donate you can also Get a hold of Bill Batey on Facebook: Batey Racing

    All Racers, Jr Racers and Business's are welcome to help.

    If you know contractors or Business that would like to donate time, money, Products please get ahold of Bill Batey: [email protected]

    Remember this is a NoN Profit Group!!!! That means all donations are tax deductible!!!

    This is from another site

    "I went to a PERRIS DRAGWAY meeting at BILL BATEY`s office thur. nite. They talked about the land they are putting in a bid on, and about they have enough land to build a 1000' track with 1500 feet for shut down. The city of PERRIS is behind them and will speed up the environmental studies and get this done. They hope to have it up and running my NEW YEARS day. They need help from us racers, in any way you can. The website will be up soon, so keep checking www.perrisdragway.com"

    Sure sounds good.

    What are the main roadblocks to opening a strip? Noise? "Environmental concerns?" Although i'm not sure how the environment would be impacted?

    The city of Perris seems to be pretty "fun" tolerant.
    They have a speedway that runs sprint cars nearby and also the Orange Empire Railway Museum that runs steam locomotives along their stretch of track by the downtown. The museum also holds a car show along with the locomotives, etc.
    So.....any strip is a good strip.
