Default New racetrack proposed in southeast Pennsylvania

I thought some of you in the tri-state area (pa,nj,del) might be interested in this news story http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?n...id=18041&rfi=6

Has anyone else heard about this? I heard a while back, but these are the first details I've seen.

Seems a local developer has a 620 acres tract of land about 45 minutes west of Philadelphia (between Pottstown and Reading if you are familiar with the area.) It's only about 20 minutes from where I live.

He is proposing a racetrack/campground complex. The track complex would include 5 paved courses including a 1/2 mile oval and a 2.73 miles road course. There is much more info at this linkhttp://www.libertybellmp.com/index.html

If what they say is true, it seems like they are doing it "right" (the engineering anyway.)

This is in the very early stages, still going through zoning hearings. Of course the local folks are already organizing their oppostion, so we'll have to see what happens. Maybe we should lend our support?
