I new I asked the right person, thanks. dave
Oh boy oh boy.
Thanks Dick!
Everyone on the new track committee keep up the great work.
This is the last paragraph of the NER New Track Committee’s report given saturday
By December, one of the two MA sites was found impractical, but the
other site is still underway, with Dick Patullo at the wheel and Sam
Gardella assisting. The Region has entered into a purchase and sale
agreement that is contingent on our obtaining the necessary permit
approvals. At this point, I can say it's a very large parcel, over
600 acres with very little wetlands and close access to the Mass Pike
between I 91 and I 495. Forgive us if we cannot be more specific about
the town, but we should be fully public by the end of February and we
would rather have some control of the public information release
locally. Our use can be allowed with a special permit from the Town's
Planning Board. Planning Board members who have been consulted were
encouraging, but still had the obvious areas of concern; noise,
traffic and hazardous materials. We are currently gathering the data
necessary to address these concerns and to apply for all permits.
NER has formed an LLC subsidiary named "NER Investments LLC" which
will apply for the permits. We are confident that with permits in
hand, investors will follow.

Very exciting. I don't think anyone has any idea of the legwork that Dick has done on this...driving all over New England for years now. I imagine I only have seen the tip of the iceberg.
I know that the actual paving of any track is the icing on the cake, and the real work is in the planning, the permits, the busness stucture, etc.
And I know that this is an impossible question to answer, but whats the range of time that the permit process can take? I would imagine we are looking at 6 months minimum, and two years on the outside.
So...does the site have hills??

I'm sure everyone is curious on this... I know I was
Ahh Forget it I can' figure out how to add an attachment with the MAP... you'll have to do a search but it is near Springfiled off of Rt. 90. Location location location. This would be a dream place!!

That's really too bad. I guess if that's what it takes, it is what it is. I do feel that NER and SCCA will lose out a bit on this if it is true as it is written. While I would not anticipate a significant amount of spectators, it is nice to attract some spectators to the events for multiple reasons. For the club, it provides additional exposure and that hopefully would lead to new volunteers and racers. As a kid (and adult for that matter), I attended several SCCA races as a spectator. I know, go as a crew for someone but for a person brand new to racing who might not even have an idea of what SCCA is no less it.com, its not that simple. Would we have a maximum of 20 crew passes to accommodate special "guests"? What about the residents of Palmer and nearby surrounding towns? Are they not invited as spectators?It's important to note that NO spectators would be invited, or even permitted, at events.[/b]
Is there any wiggle room with this policy? Or is the spectator wording mean something different than I interpret to mean?
Regardless, this possible track location is fantastic news! Awesome work Dick and everyone else working on this project. I'm sure you'll have no problems finding volunteers to help where needed. Very cool.

Unofficially, I understand the site "tested" well. And the website states that there will be 1/2 mile of property between the facility and the property line. And that a max of 10 weekends a year, and 1 day a week will be allowed the "high" level of 100dB, and other events and days will be limited further.
It's doesn't go into details of the measurement, bit I think the topography is condusive to making noise and the neighbors not complaining!
