The Issue

Following recent incidents in our town, the need for a designated place for car enthusiasts to gather, share their passion, and safely conduct car-related activities has become glaringly evident. This lack of a dedicated space is negatively impacting both those involved in motor sports and the general public in St. George. We need to rectify this.

Street racing and unsanctioned car meets have been seemingly on the rise, contributing to an unsafe environment on our streets. In the United States, nearly 50-100 fatalities per year are directly linked to illegal street racing (source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 2021). By creating a regulated, controlled, and dedicated space for motor sport and car-related activities, we can reduce such events and increase public safety.

This is a proactive step towards fostering a healthier community for car aficionados and regular citizens alike—an investment for our own safety, interests, and well-being. The establishment of a motor sports campus in St. George would not just provide a safer environment for indulging in our shared automotive passion, but would also help to mitigate the strain on local law enforcement dealing with illegal street racing and unsanctioned car meets.

Let's take decisive action for our community, for a safer, more enjoyable St. George. Sign this petition to establish a motor sports campus in our beloved town and provide a much-needed haven for car enthusiasts.
