There was another forum on this topic but I think it got deleted because I cant find it. Anyways, Tom Lyden replied on mnsc forums and and then HE said he would be at BWW in Crystal and he was there. Xrtdac was there along with some other people. There is a follow up on Fox 9 at 9 tonight.

I have to admit, I am going to try and remember to tune in channel 9 tonight at 9PM for the first time in a long time.
I'm curious to see how the follow up story goes, they interviewed the mndragways people. Hope it helps get a track built but I doubt it.

I told some poeple about it here at work. Hopefully if we generate enough ratings the News Company will continue to run story's.
Maybe it'll happen I have my fingers crossed.

Tcstangs just doesn't seem like the right group to represent everyone if you know what i mean. 90% of them just seem arrogant and feel they are better then the whole street scene itself. but hey i dont want to stereo type the entire group of tcstang guys just from a few occourances that i have been around. I hope everything that went down went well.

I agree..
What did you guys think of the followup? It attended to our issues, but didn't really tell us anything new. At least "we" got a word in this time. |

Tyler is a pimp! Nice quotes, love how the media plays just the bit they need to convey their message. Overall it wasn't bad, I thought it was a lot better then sunday nights bit.

Some of the MNDragway guys jumped all over me a couple of years ago while I was working at the SCCA booth at the Minneapolis Auto show. They tried to make me personally responcable for the SCCA not helping them build a dragway within a half hour of the cities. I doubt they where any kind of higher up in it, but they where idiots and didn't say a thing to the guys from Brainard that where across from us. I wish them the best of luck, but they have been saying the same thing for quite a while. Zoning and neighborhood issues are a B#####.
P.S. The SCCA has never and will never have any associatin with drag racing, they just didn't get it.

Yeah, MNDragways has been stumped by the zoning before with a secured site. I would say the zoning is 80% of the problem, so I wouldn't start holding my breath yet.

exactly - they continually keep saying we have a spot, etc. But the State continious to shoot them down.
Hense why I really wish that subject had been address at the interview.
