That is on them to make plans with venues that are able to host them, not on society to make concessions for assholes with a car fetish.

I totally agree. Sometimes I think people do things because it is unlawful? Maybe they love an element of danger? Like even if we did offer some place for them all to go to show off or compete with their cars, ATV's or motorcycles maybe they wouldn't even use it.

Yes and no. When government restrictions become so overbearing there is no possible compliance. Look at limerock. Track has been there forever and people are still moving next door and complaining. Nobody is going to approve a track, no matter how willing and able someone is to build it. Lawmakers should really be mandating tracks, like they have been with bikelanes. Sure, a minority use them, but it will improve the safety of everyone to have the racers in a designated area.

I bike lane doesn't require the same amount of maintenance, oversight, insurance etc.. People also bike to work, the store, appointments etc. A track is purely entertainment. Perhaps they should look for sponsors? Or perhaps these people couldn't afford to use a track or simply wouldnt.
