Seems very dangerous, why would anyone want this?
Probably very loud and smelly. I would not want this in my neighborhood...
Racetracks are typically on the outskirts of town and are far safer than commuting to work.
Nobody on a track is DUI, fiddling their phone with their music blastin with bald tires. You actually have to get certified before they turn you loose on the track.
Apparently I'm the only one here who has actually raced anything. Where else is everybody trying out the "sports" aspects of their sports cars? Otherwise it's just a high performance pretty car that idles in traffic with school buses.
Charleston used to have a real track called Summerville Speedway. It was a short track off of Central Avenue in Summerville, a 4/10 of a mile track. It closed in 2004 as new housing developments were built there.
Horse racing might do something here, but then you'd have to go through the state, regulating commissions, and also the religious people that don't like people betting on horses.
I personally hope that we stop building for a while. I don't want Charleston to be the next Atlanta.
That's not gonna stop. Charleston won't come close to an Atlanta in our lifetimes, but the way you prevent Chas from becoming another Atlanta-type is not by halting building, but by building the infrastructure that Atlanta refused to build while they still had space to do it, and by stopping sprawl from going rampant.

That kinda sucks. Anytime there's something to do replaced with a housing development, that equals one less thing you can do.
The horse racing thing might have a better chance. Sure its gambling, but so is Bingo and much of the stock market.
I don't know how much influence the antigambling crowd really has in SC. The University of South Carolina's mascot is a gamecock. For some reason horse racing is seen as more "high brow" than chicken fighting. If Kentucky can pull it off, I'm sure we can.
Next you'll want us hauling construction debris in our luxury pickup trucks.
Eww no.
The tailgate is for tail gating purposes only.
