Event Permits Approved For Custom T’s Motorsports Park After Heated Debate

Custom T’s Motorsports Park in Westmoreland County will move forward with events this year after supervisors approved permits following a tense public meeting. The Colonial Beach drag strip faced backlash over noise, injuries tied to a drift pit, and a 2023 shooting. Supporters argued changes made by the track’s owner, Larry Thompson, addressed concerns. Opponents weren’t convinced. The vote came after nearly four hours of debate, with the issue drawing a packed room on both sides.
