I believe this is a positive thing to have in the Winnipeg area. Growing up in the Winnipeg area and being involved in the racing community Gimoli was too far to go so we raced on the street. This track needs to stay in operation and be free from further harassment.Peter Irving (Killarney, 2020-11-21)

Im signing because i believe Winnipeg needs a safe racetrack to keep street racers a place to rally, congregate and race in a safe environment.I have dealt with Sheldon and Cheryl and they are great people trying to do a great thing.

Van Mol Road - it's great! It's a draw to the community, close to the city and no harm being done to anyone!!D. Holly Bausman (St. Andrews, 2020-11-21)

I believe in what this place stands for. With such a close track it will without a doubt keep the racing off the streets.Great place for family to go great for the community.Community should band together to support.Also brings more people to the area which equals more income for smaller as well as all local buisnessesJeremy Blais (Oakbank, 2020-11-21)

The whole premise of organized Drag Racing is about safety and stopping street racing. This is a good facility and its proximity to Winnipeg will provide an outlet for folks and reduce street racing. It is an attraction for the RM of St Andrews and there will be resultant positive economic spinoff for the rate payers. The Airport is a high noise area already. MPR is working to minimize its operations impact on their neighbors.Fred Senkow (SEVEN SISTERS FALLS, 2020-11-21)

Thank you Sheldon and Cheryl for putting in so much hard work for an exciting venue that will put Winnipeg on the map. Let me know if you need any help with the sound issues. Sounds like something that can be addressed.Allan Simonson (Winnipeg, 2020-11-21)
#409
Its a sport that I'm interested in, and its local. I have friends who race and this is a close location and its newer. The season is so short for them, and the shorter distance would help attendance. The sound isn't really a big problem.Mike MacLean (St. Andrews, 2020-11-21)

These amazing people brought a track closer to the city for racers and spectators to enjoy, this is something I have been looking forward to for a long time.My friends and I have gone 4 times this past season and have had so much fun, i really look forward to many more race weekends.

MPR gives Motorsport enthusiasts a safe place to enjoy their passion for racing together . A local drag strip sheds a positive light on the sport and discourages street racing. Thank you for everything.Chris Atchison (Winnipeg, 2020-11-21)

I reside in St. Andrews and believe that what is being done to the raceway is unethical and unjustified.Stefan Schwede (Selkirk, 2020-11-21)

The people of St.Andrews shouldn't be dictated what there aloud to do by there fellow neighbour if they don't like whats going on around them they can move to the city first the complain about the airport noice which has been the longer than them and now a drag strip in the same location like get a clue if you don't like noise go buy a plot of land out in the sticks where no ones around you or move to the city or to a gated community stop trying to decide what everyone is aloud to do we all pay tax and pay for are land so you have no rights to saying what we can or can not do.Payden Schwede (St. Andrews, 2020-11-21)

I support the idea of a race track as a safe environment for racing. The opposition to it is just sour grapes. It’s an AIRPORT, they are by definition loud !! The odd car MAY be louder than a plane !!Garry Eekhoudt (St Andrews, 2020-11-21)

It is so nice to see a new business opening outside of Winnipeg. The participants are both local and coming from other places to join into a passion they have and want to share while boosting the economy of the community in good clean entertainment.... we need more boosts to the economy especially nowDebbie Seniuk (Winnipeg, 2020-11-22)

As a resident of St. Andrews, residing near the airport on Liss Rd, we are 100% in favor of the racetrack, from our yard the sounds of aircraft and traffic on Mcphillips Rd are much louder than the cars racing at the track. I personally have attended race events at the track and was impressed by MPR organization group conducting these events. As a family owning several classic cars, you can count on us to support continued future success of the track.Karen Stanczak (Liss Rd. St. Andrews Mb, 2020-11-22)

This is entertainment in our RM, well run. The noise is during the day, on weekends, doesn’t start early or end late and is no noisier than a floater plan taking off and flying over the communityClaire Askew (Red River Place, 2020-11-23)

This is a great opportunity for everyone. Brings people not only to race but to watch to the area. Great chance for local businesses to market to these people.It also gives people who may street race a safe secure and legal place to do it keeping the streets safer.
Also noise wise. It's an airport. Planes are not quiet. And those are year long everyday. This is a few weekends a year.

This MPR is a bigger economy builder and entertainment venue than is perceived. Any locals that complain about noise are most likely tell a lie. They are to far away to even see the cars never mind hear them. Hopefully this venue carries on for many years to come.Denny Kaleta (Winnipeg, 2020-11-23)
#533
I think that racing in any community is a great thing as long as all rules are abided by. It gives people a place to to run the cars they work hard on, and has the ability to reduce street racing.The racing community by in large are well behaved and a great addition to any community.

Grew up around muscle cars, and friends with race cars. now my kids are into it and is awesome to be able to go out and watch the races so close to home. Also I believe this can keep our streets a little safer as the younger generation will have a track up the road , rather than city streets to race their buddies.Alan Kotelniski (West st paul, 2020-11-23)
