I been wanting to bring this up but I don't know what to do about it and who to talk to. A track is not even nessasary, just let them go to the strip. Better in there than out on the street. If you make a track, there will be a couple problems. Money, and time. Most of those racers do not have a decent income or just don't have enough money to spend on getting all the nessacary things for track racing. I thought of racing legit untill I saw that you needed to pay 500 dollars just to race all the way in the track limerock. If you were to just leave the strip open, to all of these street racers with an occational "check up" by the police every now and then, I can promise you that it would work. I can name atleast 200 racers that would love the idea and would get off the street. Feel free to contact me about this. pleae give contact info with a reply, tell me what you think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-184290598223592648.post-31153833493718056022009-05-01T23:32:00.000-04:002009-05-01T23:32:00.000-04:00You have to give an alternative as well.Like
take ...You have to give an alternative as well.Like<br />take some of that money and put it towards a 1/4 mile track in CT. It would dramatically reduce the illegal activities and it could be taxed as well. Everyone knows if you stop racing at location "A", then they will just go somewhere else. Its a fact.<br /> Are you going to put speed bumps on route 91 as well?. What about route 9? might as well, I've seen people race there too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-184290598223592648.post-20101001876431607282009-04-06T14:42:00.000-04:002009-04-06T14:42:00.000-04:00HPD Upcoming Plans with respect to illegal street ...HPD Upcoming Plans with respect to illegal street racing:<BR/><BR/>The most problematic locations for us have been Wawarme Avenue and Murphy Road. Last Friday (April 3rd) speed bumps were installed on Wawarme Avenue at the direction of Acting Director of Public Works Kevin Burnham (They are in place…I saw them) Hartford DPW will be doing a roadway modification project on Murphy Road in the very near future that will hopefully deter street racing. <BR/><BR/>The HPD is currently awaiting the awarding of grant monies from the State of Connecticut Dept of Transportation's Traffic Division to specifically address the illegal street racing situation. In the meantime, the Southeast Conditions Team, and the HPD Patrol and Traffic Divisions will be conducting special details on a weekly basis in an attempt to curtail some of the racing activity throughout the South Meadows and surrounding areas.<BR/><BR/>Hartford Police Chief Daryl K.
