Reader comments from the online story at WXIA's Web site...
"On a different note, if I own a practice/shooting range, can I advertise free range time for people convicted of public discharge of a gun?"
"Maybe Mr. Porter will give these ya-hoos a cell phone so they can be texting while racing around his course."
"There goes the neighborhood. I know people who moved out there to get away from the very thing that will now be in their back yard. Did not enough locals ban together to stop this, or do I smell the taint of political corruption in the mix? I say, follow the money."
"...Fear not,...I'M gonna apply for a pouring licence across the street."
Devoted to informing local residents about this potential nuisance... And we're still burning and crashing on all the news, announcements, etc. about this race track for the wealthy.

- Dawsonville, GA, United States
- Location is unjust, the county/city steamrolled over constituents in the "rezoned" area and the rezoing process by the city and county was good ole' boy politics at its finest. "Dawson County - Where Quality of Life Matters." Edit that - change it to Mattered!
