LEGACY OF LIES
We plan(ned) on making the trip from Concord, NC to Greenville, SC tonight. Last chance to fight for Greenville Pickens Speedway.. The conditions have that trip doubtful. PLEASE READ!
A developer is planning on tearing the track down. Or should I say “the liar” is planning to tear it down? The last time we made the trip down to Greenville, to the initial rezoning hearing, he was resolute that he had “no intentions to do touch the track footprint”. Two years later and his truth is revealed (as we predicted).
This will lead to the ultimate death of racing in one of NASCAR’s leading markets. The death of a legendary speedway. Hallowed grounds. The death of history. The final nail in the coffin. Yet another South Carolina Race track will disappear.
Now people in the area will pack snacks and drinks and a blanket and take their children to go watch the warehouses and apartments. People will travel across state lines and spend their money in restaurants, stores and at hotels to see the semi-trucks rolling in with supplies. Thats what brings tourism dollars flooding in!!! Great for @VisitSC / @greenville isnt it?
While the developer is allowed to erase this historic landmark and build a financial legacy for his own family, let us not forget the government that enabled this so our children could witness the destruction of history. A true legacy of lies.
