As in my earlier message, I agree with Tom. If people do want to argue the
issue, they may
unleash a community activist with nothing in their day to do but attack SP. I
could see the concern
about racing all week, un muffled. That would be a problem. LRP has a set
number of weekends
they can run events unmuffled. This causes a restriction in the number of race
weekends available.
If things become unreasonable with CARE. Then you say OK. How loud is a
weedtrimmer? None of
those after 6. No power equipment on weekends. What about a loud party? No
music after x pm. Then see
how concerned everyone is. If they don't want noise, then no one should make
noise.
Compromise, but if they push, then go to the extreme.

Doesn't Lime Rock, like many tracks, have a Sunday morning "no engines" rule?
Some years ago when I was employed by Indianapolis Raceway Park, I came
across a legislative proposition that said all cars including race cars would
have to have operational mufflers. This was a half-witted attempt to make
mufflers mandatory on race cars. Fortunately I was then wired into the
state legislature and pointed out the writing of the proposed bill would
include race cars in transit, which meant Indy cars, sprint cars, etc. The
whole bill was quickly quashed in committee.
The "we were here first" provision doesn't carry much weight in the face of
organized property owners and lawyers who want to change the rules. You are
better off playing their game and becoming sympathetic, especially in the
eyes of the media.
