Reply to comment by JHolm915 in Why does CT only have oval tracks or kart tracks, I feel like it would be good to have a grand prix style track for racing by toasty_boi12345678

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.
