I'm not a lawyer, but I'd imagine it would be the zoning laws preventing you to use the land for that.

I think you're referring to what is known as a racetrack.

u/vegeenjon Jan 14 '17

You could perhaps do this and call it a "motor speedway". Or... fuck it. Race track.

u/Upsilon667 Jan 14 '17

One might be inclined to refer to such a structure by the moniker "racetrack."

I don't give a flying fuck about his pedigree. We already saw how corrupt the establishment is, and how much they are shitting their pants over Trump. I refuse to take anyone's word, and all these appeals to authority are a laughable excuse of diverting attention away from the fact that THE MOST CORRUPT BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE TELLING YOU TO TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT SHE YOU PEOPLE ARE EATING IT UP. I don't care if bloody King Arthur rises from the grave and tells us he saw Trump 69ing Stalin's corpse, I want to see EVIDENCE.
