editor after reading the letter in last weeks issue of the free press concerning the proposed drag strip in esquesing township i felt obliged to write and try to rectify any mistaken impressions tint might have been formed drag racing is not strictly for professionals anyone with a valid drivers licence and a safe and mechanically fit car may take part all entrants are divided into classes to give each an equal chance it was stated that when the breaking action of the tan fail they keep going to the detriment of anyone or anything in their way the cars are started electronically by means of lights and no person whatsoever is permitted on the track at any time with exception of the officials i quote they stay and on saturday night they go looking for excitement a large percentage spectatora and contestants alike are ordinary everyday people they come for the purpose of enjoying the sport and not to cause the free prase has received unsigned lettert regarding the proposed drag strip between the fifth and sbtth line of esquasina it la this newspapers policy to print only tattara which are signed by the writer trouble that situation was nude to sound ridiculously unrealistic it appeared to me the woman who wrote the letter thought that every person involved in the sport was a common criminal and no one in the area would be safe there are three drag strips located within 100 mdet of acton and i would like very much lo see proof of any incidents of this kind that have taken place wanton destruction and mayhem such as the woman refers to would surely not escape the newspapers of this area a minority group of young people mar the image of drag racing by such things as squealing their tires and driving at tiigh speeds through residential areas this is not drag racing and is frowned upon by anyone who takea the sport seriously i have written this letter in an effort to present a realistic picture of the situation to your readers the points i have presented are not prejudiced and must be considered before the public takes a stand on this issue much more could be said yours sincerely paul henderson a pseudonym may be uaad in tha paper h requested but the
