Capitol Raceway, a 1/4 mile drag racing facility, had the same problem. Capitol Raceway is still located in Anne Arundel County MD. Developers also wanted to build homes next to the racetrack without any sound abatement. Their project was approved and just like you surmise, the new residents went to the county to get the racetrack closed. The county ultimately ruled that the new residents were aware that there was a racetrack there and that the racetrack had been in operation for decades before the homes were built, and could continue to operate at that location.

That's what I was thinking, he might want to focus on forcing the developer to disclose the racetrack to potential buyers. Perhaps even requiring sound levels with the proposed sound abatement in place. Most buyers won't be shown homes during times that racing will be going on...and some buyers won't be familiar with the area. But developers aren't known for caring how happy the new homeowners will be, just that they buy the homes. 3 houses per acre is common, and terrible imo...too densely packed. But that's the way $ is made. 4500 homes represents a good chunk of property tax revenue, so officials tend to push for developers through with dollar signs in their eyes.

Their profit margin is so high ( 3 houses an acre is damn good money) that tossing 100-500k to grease the wheels is nothing to them. Land development is a dirty game.

I actually looked at a model home there (we were looking at the same plan on the Northside of Bryan). It was a sad sight to see them ripping that place apart. We didn't get that plan, but bought another on Bryan's Northside, howdy neighbor! On another angle, these tracks help get the reckless stuff off the public roads and into a safe environment. If folks want to do a sick burnout, they should do so somewhere with safety gear, a fire crew, and EMS nearby, not on by blocking off a public intersection to do so.

But the first thing you MUST do is get someone who knows how to speak on your behalf who does this for a living or at least more often enough than yourself. You have great data but are not getting it across to them in a way they will understand. You don’t need to try to kill the entire development. Y’all can get it modified so that section nearest the track is left undeveloped or utilized for other than homesites. Maybe the water treatment and maintenance areas can be put there to offset the problem. Even just a couple hundred feet in addition to well planned sound abatement can be quite effective. Also, you might try to partner with the developers to maybe do some CarCondo’s nearest the track with some kind of membership deal. Try everything.

For context, I grew up in a classic suburban sprawl, we had a drag strip 3.5 miles from our house and there was dense housing between us and the drag strip, with many large mature trees and neighborhoods well over 45 years old. On weekend nights you could hear drag races sitting in my yard. If people think a berm will work, they are kidding themselves, they did all that with this place, and eventually just a couple years ago it got shut down after many great years of running. I’m glad you are stepping up and involved in your communities, you’ve got my support.

I live in a small town and there's a dirt track not even really close to me and when they run dirt track racecars on them, when you step outside the house at night you can hear them from really far away. Luckily it's far enough away that when you go in the house you don't hear it. But I think cleetus is right. Putting that many homes right next to audibly loud businesses, they're going to have a hard time selling houses to people. A nurse isn't going to be buying those houses because they have erratic sleep schedules and can't have racecars blasting while they're sleeping. They really shouldn't be putting homes next to race tracks. A sound proof wall isn't going to work. If they build the houses right next to the track it's going to lower the value of the homes and people will struggle to move in. I think cleetus is right and he's not only looking up for his interest but the interests of future home buyers that will appreciate homes being built that aren't right on the border of a racetrack. Cleet doesn't want people's home quality of life going down by building homes in not the smartest spots. There's better spots to put homes where they'll thrive better. It would be smarter to build businesses in-between the track and homes than to cram more homes in. Because people aren't trying to sleep at work. Something like that. I agree with cleeter. I like cleetus and his racetrack but I wouldn't even buy a home right next door unless I planned on working at the track for a living in the long term 😂 where I live were a ways away from a dirt track somewhere out in the desert outside of town and it's still pretty loud and we're very far away. I think cleetus is right. It would be better to build anything but homes right on the edge of a racetrack. A series of warehouse's would be better. We shouldnt be building homes where people sleep right next to race tracks that already exist. I think the people focusing on this situation are smart and they recognize that there will be a noise issue which is why they approve of walls or banking to help deaden the sound, but I think cleetus knows his business and knows it won't be good enough and I think if we build those homes right there it's going to result in lower quality of home life for the owners thereof, and then they complain and the racetrack has to modify hours of operation causing high chance of failure of business which isn't worth it for such a successful racetrack that already existed there first. Maybe they can build half the homes farther south of the land and build warehousing or something in-between the track and the homes that already exist. Idk for sure what the solutions are but I agree with cleetus it's a problem to build homes right where we can already see it will cause problems. There's better things to build next to a racetrack than homes which I and I'm sure cleetus agrees is not optimal location for a home to provide the highest peace and tranquility for the future owners. Right on the other side of my neighborhood is a school football field and let me tell you, they use loud speakers and bang drums at nighttime and even in my well insulated house the noise is noticable, and that's a football field, not a racetrack. There is like a racetrack 5 Miles from me, a dirt track. You can he's them racing on it eventhough we're farther away than cleet will be to these new homes being proposed. These homes will be very close and I think cleetus is right. It's going to cause problems for everyone and it's avoidable. That or we erect a massive wall 100 feet tall and thick, covered in sound deadening, hurricane rated, and paint an American flag on it and bounce all the sound waves the opposite direction of the neighborhood. Problem is that's expensive also and might not be good enough. Esspecially if these homes are built really close. Tough situation will be cool to see how it develops and if solutions can be found because Cletus is right. Textbook how racetracks die. You build homes next door and then the business can't operate. So youll have people moving into homes they have to complain about the noise, so the m the businesses have to close up shop. So people move in too close and busiensses die. And cleet is right it's too successful just to close shop. One of if not the most successful small track in the country

I very briefly lived about 10 miles from Houston Raceway Park, and every Friday night, you could hear the "street legal races" if you were outside and knew what to listen for. And, of course, you could hear the NHRA events easily. I don't remember hearing anyone complaining about the noise either. Although people had plenty of other loud events(like the chemical plants testing their emergency public broadcast system every day at the same time) that occur on a daily basis so perhaps everyone was just accustomed to it.

Southern Raceway in Santa Rosa county Florida, and the drag strip at the edge of Okaloosa county had the same problem. New houses were built close by, new owners complained, county board restricted the track due to noise ordinances. Track fought back, lost, sold the track to new owners who used some better lawyers. Now they can operate in the evenings but must finish by 11PM. This is when many busy nights and would typically have racing going until 12-1pm and bring in a lot of money. Best way to fight back is have the people speak up and say no, keep it as agricultural zoning within 1/4 mile radius.

@@S550STANG I agree. What makes it worse is the fact that we're in a new golden age of car engineering. There's so much out there to turn many platforms into something useful for various specific types of racing. The technology they're using from factory is extremely impressive too. I wish there was more we could do to stop these governments from eliminating our community and fun.

We just lost an awesome little track near where I live, it was called E.T. Motorsports park and it was because of shit like this. They were leasing land from the state, who after a bunch of complaints from the new neighbors a couple miles away, decided to revoke the lease and sell the land to be developed into more fucking houses... That place used to be in the middle of nowhere, just a little dirt circle track, a motocross track, a sand dragstrip and mud pits for the mud trucks and I had a blast every time I went out there.... I sure am gonna miss that place 🙁 Hopefully things work out better for you guys 🤞🙏

Naive. The reason tracks close is because the track and the land around it are always worth FAR too much money as commercial or residential development land vs a track. There's simply no way to return on the investment if you are going to stick something like this out or try to buy the surrounding land. In order to offset the cost of buying out a housing or commercial developer track use would have to be so massively expensive to break even that nobody would go, and the farmland obviously isn't turning anywhere near the profit as a farm as it will when it's sold to developers, or it wouldn't be happening in the first place.

You all know how old some of the tracks in the UK are. Lucky for us, our courts are currently of the opinion that historical activities are more important than a few new locals that were miss sold a property by an estate agent. Best of luck👍

Conservation easements! I live in a town with a military base. The military has the same problem with urban sprawl and noise complaints shutting bases down. People move in then complain about jet noise. The nearby base worked with the county to turn a lot of surrounding farm land into conservation easements, meaning that land can only be used for agriculture, it locks down the ways that land can be used.
