Limerock Park, but it's facing a bunch of whiney neighbors who bought next to a 50+ year old racetrack and then complain about the noise.

The same as people that move next to an area that is zoned for business or industrial uses , and then complain about noise , traffic, etc. when the area gets built up for the allowed usage. Goes for city people who move into farm country and complain about the smells. They drive past the farms to get to their new development that used to be a farm.

That's CT in a nutshell. See an airport, Google about dumb asses who moved next door then complain. Train idled for 150 years in some towns and every few years people say why do the trains make noise at night. Or become teachers and complain about education to pay ratio. The ones you don't hear about are the ones who buy a house on an old industrial dumping ground. They snap up a deal and quietly sell when half of them are mysteriously sick or have cancer. Welcome to ct

Tf does our collective choice to underpay teachers have to do with people making bad decisions.

Like the logical throughline here is “teachers who live in squalor deserve such, and they’re just as stupid as people who move next to race tracks and bitch about the noise.”

That’s always been an issue out there since the track was built. It’s why they can’t race on Sundays

That was because of the church in close proximity to the property, but the town, track, and church all came to an agreement to allow a certain amount of Sunday events and now the people in town are trying to reduce that further which will hinder the big name series that require Sunday racing and cause them to back out from holding events there.

Of course they are, I'm guessing they are a bunch of old people

Surprisingly it's a lot of younger families after the old residents started dying off and the houses were sold.

Really? I guess that makes sense but you'd think they would be smarter about their decision, though they chose to live in CT so. Idk, I still with there were more grand prix style tracks in CT, with how rich people are here you'd expect them to be down with racing, would probably get a lot of money to the state and help the economy if national racing events were held here in CT

On top of it the track is actually designed to minimize sound(it's like a bowl with the track in the center) and has one of the strictest muffler db limits so you really can't hear anything outside the property of the track so it's absolutely ridiculous that they complain.

Agreed, honestly if it were me I would love to live near a track, can watch the races pretty much for free and with an angle that sees the entire track

Yeah limerock is a great place too. Very family friendly, they allow walkthroughs to see all the cars in the pits(some race teams will let kids sit in the cars and give free stuff), they allow camping, and it's just generally a nice place for people to go who enjoy motorsports. My only complaint is IMSA and some of the bigger events can be pretty pricey, but I do understand they have to keep the place running so it's minor to me.
