i think its a great idea, any thing to bring people to the island, and bring revinue to the city of campbell river.

I would also have to say great idea north island could use something better than saratoga to take your car to

Sounds awesome! Would love to have a new 1/4 mile track on the island!

This is a freaking awesome idea!!

I wish it were closer to Victoria!

^werd
I think if it were more towards nanaimo it would be more successfull/central to everyone on the island, but anything on the island would be rad (you should include a campground area for the south islanders ;)

motocross track would be sweet!

I'm all for having a motorsports park ANYWHERE on the island, north, south, central...doesn't matter to me as long as it has a road course as well as a drag strip. I like circle track as much as the next guy, but road racing is something I would really have liked to do without taking a trip on the ferry.

Awesome idea, I'll spread the word.

Totally agree on the campground idea. Just some place to set up tents would be awesome!

road cores and drag strip

^^^ What he said.

Anything that doesn't involve a boat ride will be a boon for the island. And if the facility is put together well enough, we'll see people coming from the mainland to support it I'm sure.

to bad it was not in duncan that be even better

the point isnt the location, you all seem to be focusing on that. If you want one closer to victoria, then get off your asses, find sponsors, find available land, find people to run it, apply to the city, and make it happen.

I think its great that someone has taken the inative to make this happen, a 3 hr drive is a piece of cake compared to a day of full travel to make it to other places. I hope this happens for your efforts, and the communities growth.

naaaa thetre justy no hope for arould here all indain owned


but still the track iland is sweet road croes so sweet

Is there actually talk of a road course? Everything I saw on the webpage said Drag strip, oval, and maybe motox etc. I didn't see anything about a road course?

road course would be AMAZING, and i can guarantee the motorcyclists on the island would be interested in that too.

Do you guys have a business plan, any idea on how much money would be needed? Provincial elections coming up, I would talk to all the people running on the Island, see how many would be willing to support the idea. It also might be a good idea to talk to developers who are or have built large projects on the Island.

Your biggest hurdle might be the local people not wanting it built and zoning.

^says they've got the go ahead of the city of campbell river (to look into it at least) and beside the airport seems like the best spot, since thats lots of noise anyways

They were going to build a highschool down the road from us. The mayor told us it was a done deal. a group of old people did not like the idea and stopped the project. Untill they have the zoning and have a building permit the city can always change there mind. Remember there is an election every 3 years.

Go ahead of the city, and the general populous are not the same.

No doubt.

The residents near the Panorama rec centre stalled the pool expansion project for months because the water slide tower was a couple feet too tall.

fuck the general populous, i want a road course!
^the people complainging about that are common sidney folk with nothing better to do :p

same here

but aslong as they do drifting events im down
