As for that analgy of parking spaces.. I think that's a little too general. Using the same example, I'd say it would be like having a parking space with empty spots on either side of you. Now there are plans to occupy these spaces with other cars..one is noisey, one is dirty. Insted of just slapping them next to you, the owner of the Pinto agrees that he'll only start the car during agreed hours that wouldn't cause a disruption and will route the exhust down to the ground. The guy with the big truck also comes to an agreement that he'll build a small divider to keep dirt out of your parking space. Both issues are still present, but the owners have tried to make compromise.

I understand these people have quiet bumblefuck property and were there first, but they're also making the track out to be the end of the world and that it'll be constantly nosy and that 'noxious fumes' will endanger people's kids and there will be a constant cloud of pollution coming from there. If it's no that location, it'll be the same story ANYWHERE the idea would be purposed. Hell, someone was trying to develop the property next to Road Atlanta and were trying to get RA shut down. ...what kinda of logic is that? The logic of stupid people. Gwinnett Co. Fairgrounds is another good example. The Atlanta region SCCA got told to GTFO because the homeowners were companing about the noise. But wait, autoX events were being run there long before the houses were built AND there are many other much louder events like the damn fair that not only bring noise but droves of people some of whom are not exactly upstanding citizens.....but the fair goes on and the 2-3 time a year autox'ers get the boot.

qft.

im aware that just bulding a track isn't going to get all the street racers off the road, because they're cheap, cars are broken/not up to standard etc. but it WILL get some off the road, and that's better than nothing.

i highly agree with the part about moving the track somewhere else. no matter where you put it, someone is going to bitch about it sooner or later.

and the part about the fair. just...yes. to all of it.
