Gary, that's optimistic thinking. Coming from a political background, in todays world, I can assure you nothing good comes from building a motocross track in the inner city. Worst of all a city running a budget deficit is building it. Probably have vacant homes, decaying neighborhoods, blight, crumbling streets, infrastructure that needs addressed, and two million plus is being spent on a track for thugs that are breaking the law.
It has been proven on here by many that track down their own bikes and even riding gear many of these bikes are stolen, or are bought "hot". How many inner city kids have disposable income to buy a bike, gas, and the gear necessary to ride safely? They go to stick and ball sports because they are cheap, and being on school lunch programs, etc they get their pay to play fees waived....if they have talent, sponsors will pick up AAU costs. I think your being a little naïve thinking they are paying for these bikes with hard earned cash legitimately. A few are, but I think those are the minority.
And do not think for a second that someone is not going to file a major lawsuit the first time someone is injured bad. Not like suing the AMA or a promoter......this is a municipality. Their Public Entities Pool is going to settle with these jack a***s to keep it out of court, and they will be getting a pay day.
