A proposal for the Woody Creek Racetrack has been met with opposition from the community. The developer claims the project will be sustainable, citing amenities such as solar panels and trail improvements. However, concerns have been raised about the toxic pollutants generated by race cars, including carbon dioxide and heavy metals.

These pollutants can contaminate air, soil, and waterways, and harm nearby residents and wildlife. The developer's promises of emission controls and electric vehicles have been questioned as attempts to downplay the project's environmental impact. Further details on the proposal and the community's response are available from the Aspen Times.
