Motor sports in Clay City..why not Irvine?

Why can't we have dragstrip racing, go cart racing or something interesting for our young? Other little towns have more to offer. Speedways at Clay City or Mt. Vernon. Local business leaders and property owners seem to be blind to the recreational needs of our county. And if someone tried to build such a facility, the petitions would fly around and the local media would take the side of the opponents. It never fails.
