Sunday after Sunday this occurs on one of the two most popular traveled roads in this part of Accomack County. Sadly, this afternoon event has been allowed to continue over the past few years... And it isn't always motorcycles....sometimes there are cars.
Staging for the event on this Sunday took place on Saxis Road at around 3:00 in the afternoon.
Maybe what so many people fail to realize is the fact this type of gathering can cause great danger to anyone in the area at the time.
Many of us that use this road pay taxes and that alone should assure us access to roads without delay- with the exception of emergencies and farming. That's where it should STOP!
NO ONE should have to WAIT for this on a public road !!!
I'm not concerned about WHO these people are.....I'm concerned about those that drive this road in an attempt to GET somewhere.
Families are still leaving churches at this time of day, some have errands to run. And let's not forget that within a few miles from this point is a very popular camp ground that has hundred of visitors in the area trying to enjoy their vacations and trying to get to the highway to perhaps shop or visit many of the tourists attactions in the area.
So be sure to use caution as you drive Horsey Road, Saxis Road - any stretch of it.......
Calls to the Accomack County Sheriff's Office only gets the racing canceled for the day...
