| Raceway Park needs your signature Your local track might be next, sign this. Even anonymously, just do it.
I am pretty sure the track was there a LONG TIME before the local housing boom. Nobody forced these people to buy house near a racetrack. Not to mention the revenue/taxes this place generates. |

| Re: Raceway Park needs your signature That place can get damn loud and you are so right no one told you to move near a track. Lets face it you have to know its there since there are signs all around that place. You bought it knowing what was around you.... you are stuck with it or move
And if you didn't know it was there still move
I cant wait for raceway park to finish up their road course  |

| Re: Raceway Park needs your signature Yeah, it's one thing if you were there first. But, Raceway park was there long before these folks who are now complaining about the noise. Look around before you buy.
Don't hold your breath about the road course they're building at Englishtown, as it is definitely not motorcyle-friendly. No clubs that I know of will hold trackdays there. It's designed for timed runs, one vehicle on course at a time. |

| Re: Raceway Park needs your signature Sounds like Laguna Seca.
90dB limit on noise for most days of the year and a couple 93dB days. They also have some unlimited days for some car races and the WSBK events. No P.A. announcements either for regular days.
EDIT: That's why there aren't any club races at Laguna. Everyone would have to run production with no pipes allowed. The turn out would be too low to have an event there. Everyone has a pipe these days.

| Re: Raceway Park needs your signature Sounds familiar. Red Hillview Airport in San Jose is similar. Use to be outside of town...now it's right there completely surrounded.
Don't be surprised if this happens to Laguna Seca. The surrounding land owners have threatened it for years. |

| Re: Raceway Park needs your signature Same think happens to gun ranges. Can't tell you how many gun ranges have been shut down by folks recently moving near one then getting petitions and such to have the places shut down. Being there first should count for something. |
