The staff and management of Kalamazoo Speedway would like to take a minute to thank all of the many people who came out to the township meeting Monday as well as all of the people who helped spread the word through Facebook and/or Twitter!! You people rock…….once again showing that the racing family is as strong as any group of people out there!
Alamo Township wants to quiet down the track and we as participants need to understand that we all will have to concede somewhat to more restrictions to quiet our cars down. We will come to an agreement somewhere in the middle to make the township happy as well as keeping our 64 year old tradition at Kalamazoo Speedway alive and well!
We have another meeting scheduled for Monday, February 25th at 7PM at the Alamo Elementary School. We need to have a strong physical presence at this meeting but we also need to act professional and let the township run their meeting. There will be several key people who we want to give a fair chance to talk, including area business people, representatives from the church, speedway friendly neighbors who have lived near the track for years, several representatives from many charities that the track supports, as well as many local citizens that simply deserve a chance to talk. We need to give these people their time to speak and although anyone has a legal right to talk, if we have 250 or 300 people at this meeting, we obviously won’t have time for everyone to speak.
Again, thank you for the overwhelming support…….the Kalamazoo Speedway Racing Family will come together when times get tough and like so many times in the past, we will once again prevail!!
Thank you all………

On vacation in Fla when we heard about this. Sending our support. We were weekly racers at Flat Rock Speedway where there are new homes moving in the area. Understand your situation and send our best and hoping everything goes well. Afterall, the speedway was there when they moved in…regards.
I will be their for this meeting as well. I think This Kzoo speedway announcement is classy. I will respect the speedways wishes in holding my opinion at the meeting to let others speak but I’m concerned about the Kalamazoo Speedway conceding much of anything on the noise ordinance. Seriously, The speedway has rights as well. While I do not know what is going on in the discussions between the township and Kzoo speedway it should be realized that that 64 years is a long time, the speedway is in fact a positive influence in the community, and lastly, pushing ordinances that would impede the existence of the Kalamazoo Speedway is nothing more than a form of imminent domain. Which is totally unacceptable. I will be there Monday. I hope for the best possible outcome.
