I am an <br />avid supporter of ERX and the family vibes and memories they are able to create. <br />The facility is beautiful, well maintained, and most of all safe. They support the community in more ways <br />than just for the race competitors. They hold events of all varieties and also allow many local businesses <br />serve these events. From food trucks to porta-potty rentals. Hotels to grocery stores. It has a huge <br />economic impact. Also, fundraisers are held or incorporated into most events. <br />Besides the money stand point, it provides a very family friendly activity for thousands of people. <br />Motorsport entertainment is huge in this area. We don't want to have to travel elsewhere when we can <br />support local business. <br />They keep all noises during appropriate times and the loudest events are minimal. I would hate to see <br />such a class act venue be brought down by a few people that can't turn up the TV for a few weekends in <br />the summer time. <br />I doubt they have experienced the excitement a race event brings in race day to many families. But <br />maybe they should. <br />Regards, <br />Andrew Maki <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />
