<<I have a feeling Patrick only got lip service. There will be lights in the parking lot, at least, who are they kidding? Security lighting, garage areas, concessions...spotlights in the sky, (it's owned by a car dealership tycoon, remember?) there will be acres of lights even if the track itself isn't lit. More billboards, small businesses will sprout-up around it such as gas-stations, convenience stores, restaurants, etc. And what about the construction phase itself? Will this summer be washed-out because of all-night construction lights as they race to open the place on-time? It's a Pandoras box. >> Time will tell. If the report is correct that there will be no nighttime racing, spotlights in the sky, and those other lights, for daytime events wouldn't bother me. My hair has thinned enough. I'm not going to worry about this. << What I AM saying is that the skies over the Tooele valley are much worse than they were 25 years ago, are getting worse still, and at a much faster pace as time goes by. Any other position is undefendable.>> Other positions don't need defending. Show me a place that hasn't gotten worse in the last 25 years. Backside of the Moon doesn't count. I'm grateful that Tooele County is willing to have and enforce such an ordinance. It can't eliminate light pollution but it can slow it down. Siegfried
