Mayor Karl Dean may have thought he could put killing the fairgrounds off for a year will work but he is very mistaken.
Mayor Dean has lost race fans no matter if they regularly attended races or not. He may have silenced one group for the time being, but he still must hear from angry, loud supporters of the speedway. And if he ever wanted to run for a statewide office,
he has told a large working class group he doesn't care about them.
Racing is cheap entertainment. Mayor Dean is killing that in favor of a park. Parks of course are free and they are nice and green. But they aren't as entertaining as a race car zooming around a track. Talk about jobs. Racing is a part-time job for people who earn money from winnings. Teams are small businesses, too. They need to put the man from Boston behind the wheel of a race car and send him around the track so he can have the thrill of feeling the horsepower coursing through his body and experiencing the G-forces in the turns. Then he might understand why there are a lot of people who want to keep short-track racing alive.
