REPORT TO THE RACEWAY TRAFFIC COMMITTEE
CONCERNING THE TEXAS INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY;
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Town of Trophy Club, Texas (the "Town") is endeavoring to institute
a traffic plan to accommodate approximately 190,000 people in 60,000 motor vehicles which
will travel to the Texas International Raceway for the first major event at the Raceway scheduled
in April, 1997; and
WHEREAS, the Town agrees that what has occurred at other NASCAR tracks in the

from the Raceway east to Dallas on State Highway 114 and south to the downtown Fort Worth
mixmaster on Interstate 35W; and
WHEREAS, a Raceway Traffic Committee has been formed to study the impact of the
Raceway on traffic in the communities surrounding the Raceway, and the Operations
Subcommittee of the Committee has prepared a report analyzing that impact and making certain
recommendations with respect thereto; and
WHEREAS, the Town agrees with the Raceway Traffic Committee's goal to
professionally expedite the movement of traffic in the affected areas with consideration of the
needs of both the Raceway patrons and the citizens in the surrounding communities not attending
a Raceway event..
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS:
Section 1. The Town Council supports the more than 35 members of the Raceway
Traffic Committee who represent the Texas International Raceway, the Texas Department of
Transportation, and the cities and counties located within the Raceway area.
Section 2. The Town Council recognizes that the Raceway Traffic Committee's
evaluations and recommendations were based entirely upon the entire North Texas transportation
requirements, making it a regional plan and not the desire of a single entity.

recommends its implementation; provided, however, that the Town reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to determine the level of funding, if any, by the Town in the implementation of the
