    He pretty much holds the power. Concord doesn't want to see all that tax money and tourist money go away. He knows this.

    Concord would be ok if he left. He'd be ok if he left. But it would be stupid as hell of him to spend $350 million dollars just because he didn't feel like getting some noise study done.

    I haven't heard anybody from the city of Concord or even the residents of the neighborhood say they don't want him to build the dragstrip, just that they want him to take some steps to reduce the noise level. If he's going to leave for that...we'll he just dumb then.

    Sounds like Meck. Co. dropped the ball on that one.

    Years and years ago, I think most AP/UPI headlines had Harrisburg, NC as the location of the track, but it wasn't located in their actual city limits. I think he had issues with getting a beer/liquir license for the track from them, which is why he pushed to get Concord to annex him. Hmmmmmm, I always thought the track was in Cabbarus Co. (unless the county line with Meck. Co. was moved at some point)
