Micros and midgets, especially the ASCS ecotech and focus engines, do not generate anywhere near the noise of a V8 class of stockcars or sprinters. The higher pitch of these engines comparatively should also be less of a bother because high frequency sound travels less than low frequency. (Ever heard the song lyrics 3 blocks away from one of those killer car stereo??nope, just that bass thump) Decent mufflers combined with the higher grandstands and fencing you would have at a baseball stadium should really bring the sound to a reasonable level. Did the neighbors complain about the extremely loud PA system from the stadium during baseball games?

I agree with the hypocrisy of putting a racetrack in an already residential area but I think the neighborhood is jumping to conclusions a little early.

Hell they took a handfull of cars and parked em right in the middle of the field and did a sound test a couple months ago....wonder if the neighbors even knew it happened.
