We have attended the Off <br />Road trucks racing since the event started coming here and the Nitro Rally Cross event last <br />year. Its become a family and friend event every year with us attending all days of racing. The <br />kids love it! Last year we even got a signed piece of Keagan Kincaid's truck from the pits. This <br />year we are planning to attend both events again. <br />My neighbors and I have also particiapted in the 5k run they have for the last two years. Much <br />to my surprise, I placed 3rd overall this year. <br />This facility is the only one like it in the state where events like this are held. To get anything <br />close, we would have to travel to either Wisconsin or Michigan. Taking it away would be <br />devasting to my kids, friends, and family. Please do not shut it down. Please work to find a <br />compromise to make all concerned parties happy. This way everyone wins. <br />Thanks for listening! <br />Charles Dawson <br />
