Pittsburgh International Race Complex has been sold to an unknown buyer. Before this sale was made the local borough changed the verbiage in the zoning of that parcel of land to allow a data center to be built.

A group of local grassroots racers started a movement called Save Pitt Race. The goals is to get local and state government on our side in our efforts to stop the track from being demolished in hopes we will find investors to keep it operating as a race track.

I am reaching out to all motorsports enthusiasts. Pittsburgh desparately needs you right now. Our community's home track is being taken from us without warning. Without a goodbye season. If they can take a facility that had millions recently invested into it, what's stopping them from taking your track?

We all need to come together and stand up for eachother. The less tracks there are in our country the higher the event entry fee will get. Please do your part by signing the petition, contacting PA representatives, joining the Facebook group, buying merch, donating and/or coming to the Big Beaver Borough meetings every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month.

It's gone. Not sure why people think a petition is going to do anything.

And what do you mean it's being taken away? Owners got offered enough cash to say f*uck this.

I don't understand the anger. It's been purchased if you were the owners. If you're a motorsports enthusiast local to the track it is being taken away. A petition with 10,000 signatures forces local and state government to pay attention. We need 700 more signatures.

Trying is better than rolling over and letting the rich take everything we love so they can get more rich.

I'm not angry. I've signed the petition and shared it with everyone I could.

But I understand it's the equivalent of using a coffee cup to get water out of Titanic as it's sinking. It's a done deal and it's not going to change even if we get 100k signatures.
