Sprint Boat Racing in Port Angeles?

I had never heard of sprint boat racing until this article appeared in the PDN a few days ago. But apparently it’s a popular sport, judging by all the links that come up in this web search.

And now we might get our own sprint boat race course right here in Port Angeles. The deal isn’t final by any means, but that’s the tentative plan for the 113-acre tract near the airport. The Port of Port Angeles owns the property but has agreed to sell it to the Dan Morrison Group, which has proposed building the race course on the property.

If you don’t know anything about sprint boat racing (or haven’t even heard of it), this video will give you an idea.

Forget it, this is Port Angeles. In 20 years the city will still be talking about what to do with that land.

Since this race course is near the airport, wouldn't there be a conflict if the airport grows? You hear all these stories about businesses and residents being located near an airport and then complaining when the airport expands.

We'll be banning race tracks and airports in Jeffertopia, so don't worry.
