Mark Cooper and Gary Caultrider, the plaintiffs that have kept Onondaga Dragway from operating this year via a nuisance civil suit, were required by the court to post a $381,000 cash bond to keep their injunction against the track's operation in place from now until the end of the season.

They chose to do so and as a result the track will not be opening pending the outcome of the civil trial in January. If the track prevails in the civil case they will collect the bond as compensation for lost revenue due to the injunction.

In short, the plaintiffs are willing to risk almost $400K simply to keep the track closed for another three months.

Don't kid yourself, this suit is not about sound. It is about a small group of individuals that have been opposed to the track for years trying to impose their will on the vast majority that are in favor of Onondaga Dragway.

After an attempt to block the issuance of a special use permit failed and a civil suit arguing improper zoning was thrown out of court the "sound nuisance' suit is what they are going to hang their hat on for now.

Fuckers need to get a life . Stop fucking with the track 20 minutes from me.

Crying shame....that track is where I started drag racing at back in the 60s......hell I used to live just down the street and it was a rare race day when I wasn't there.......

Did they have to pay the full amount or just 10 % of it?

the citizens in support of the track should raise a asshole nuisance suit against those two fucking jackasses.

The full amount as far as I know.

 

[forcd02]

same old same old-people move in to an area, then try and change it to suit them

Well if that's true....Something sticks in Denmark....That's a lot of money to keep a track shut down till January....Sounds like the fix is in

What a shame . the crew trying to run / open the track have probably busted ass to make it happen! My dad and uncle raced there and I was looking forward to doing the same.
Those two guys don't live within 5 miles of the track that are bitching.

Gonna have to leave some rubber in front of their houses !

 

[gameracing]

Sounds like maybe a "car show" should be held within earshot of their houses..

 

[firephoenix86]

Its a shame, be nice to have another track open up in Michigan

 

[firephoenix86]

Sounds like maybe a "car show" should be held within earshot of their houses..

Or a open header cruise, IMO

 

[Smirnoff]

Open header cruise......when?

 

[TeaRs-]

I will cut my exhaust off for that

 

[Ls1coin]

thats a shame as cash strapped as michigan is for some weasel to complain in the middle of nowhere

 

[Blaine B.]

Sounds like maybe a "car show" should be held within earshot of their houses..

Absolutely! 2 or three times a week should do it. Every car should have signs in the rear window "Rather be racing at Onondaga!"

Find out what business's they own and start a big boycott of them .Make them hurt and know why its happening.

I don't think a bank would touch that one.

This is probably the only thing they will understand. People pay attention when it affects their wallet.

The track is set to re-open Saturday August 12th, 2017. It was a long 4 year battle that has ended in favor of the track. Just wanted to update you all that were concerned!
