Move track

Now that we city taxpayers own a huge farm eight miles north of town, how about giving 40 acres to the car race noise-makers to move their track out of our residential area in McCook.

We will certainly avoid future lawsuits with illegal noise levels created by the car race groups. And, homeowners who want some peace and quiet this summer on our tax-owned fair grounds land.

In response to the Ryder truck comment in last week's Gazette, it will be cheaper for Red Willow County taxpayers to shut down the races than to pay all area homeowners for property devaluation because of the race noise issue.

Baseball, softball players and town businesses sponsors for loss of hearing and the right to use public property with highly illegal race noise level on public property.

Do you taxpayers want to spend millions on potential lawsuits? The race track promoter, the Fairboard and Red Willow County Com-missioners is taking us down that road with the new expanded track and doubled race dates for this coming season.

The solution -- move the track to Culbertson. They have concrete guard rails and a covered grandstand.

The North Platte racing group and a very few McCook racers can drive 10 miles to the Culbertson track and solve our noise problem in McCook and avoid certain future lawsuits that will cost Red Willow County taxpayers millions in future years.
