No. Just MOVE from the S-it Hole State. Cheaper property taxes, its turning into a sanctuary state, its way to cold there in the Winter, less traffic. I have a few cousins and an aunt living near Newton and they are being raped every year on property taxes, sales taxes, can not get a gun or license to carry one ! Wake up.....Its not worth it living there. English Town Race track is HISTORY...what's the use. I would have sent you a pvt. email but did not have your email address. Sorry if this offends you or anyone else but people should give it some real thought.

Nothing new here. We've had a lead weight ban for about 7 or 8 years here. Probably were afraid we use old weights for reloading. Don't do that. Wheel weights were cast out of an inferior grade of lead that would smear insides of gun barrels,leaving a real mess to get it out. We went to zinc, now we see that that's on the no no list. Same problems that X Tech Man mention that's wrong with Joisey are wrong out here for the same reasons. I would like to get out of here too, but my favorite state of choice turned blue because the population centers attracted more liberal dependent classes,turning the majority vote to the left. Also, they have more drug use up there because of liberal legalization of it,the place is infested with pot smokers and tweakers. Seems that when some problem won't go away, just find a way to get in control of it and legalize it so you could tax it. What does it say about a government that allows anything as long as they can control it and tax it? If you ever want your parts, tools, cars, trucks and stuff to disappear, just have a lot of dopers and tweaks around. Also, you'll find them living in your house and RV when you're gone before you know it. I guess they feel that legitimizing drug sales will somehow knock a leg out from under the gang problem,thereby turning it into a government problem.

One more reason to "make America good again" get these idiots out of office. Look at the crappy paint we have now after banning the lead, pesticides that "feed" the bugs, on and on. Quit relying on someone else (government) to run your life.

And don`t forget the soy based insulation on the electrical wires on modern cars, the mice, rats, and squirrels love em!

Just a few questions maybe for the engineers here, maybe.

I understand that tires wear away and you never notice the evidence. Do lead wheel weights "disappear" into the environment too?

I've never even seen a wheel weight on the side of the road except maybe ones that a wrecker operator sweeps up. Is this a big problem?

Where did the lead come from in the first place?

Thanks in advance

That's the humerous thing: Mother Nature is the answer to that question.

It's symbol is Pb.

I'll bet more than a few enviro freaks think evil mankind came up with lead.

I would think a bigger concern would be all the lead pipes used in older buildings and houses for water.

I have no problem buying hand guns just paperwork and about 4 mos. waiting for the PO. Long guns are a piece of cake except so called assault weapons can't have a front grip, flash supressor, and get this a bayonet lug.
As far as moving both my daughters and grand daughters all live near by, in NJ and Staten Island. So no moving plans...Yet.
Personally the track discontinuing the drag race program doesn't affect me personally,
got that out of my system in 2010. But I do feel for the current race croud and the town businesses who'll suffer a loss of revenue.
