Rejected petition To deter street racing, support drag racing and other motorsport facilities
Street racing and unsafe or reckless driving at 'cruises' can have catastrophic consequences.
Two out of three of the UK's permanent drag racing facilities have closed in the last three years.
We need to encourage and support the provision of safe and sanctioned 'off road' motorsport events.
More details
Street racing continues to increase, maybe pro-rata to the closing of drag racing and other motorsport venues.
Motorsport venues face closures due to noise or for housing developments for example.
Grass root motorsport ventures, with their social and commercial infrastructures, feed in to the UK's huge motorsport sector.
With the social and commercial benefits, there are many positive advantages and outcomes to supporting entry-level and clubman drag racing and other motorsport venues.
