It really makes you wonder. The track has been there for 100 years and some people move into town or have children and suddenly there is a noise problem. Attendance and car counts have dwindled lately at Sun Prairie and I guess the town officials have to determine if the economic benefits from having this track in town are greater than the complainants that they are receiving. As Trannyman said about the couple that have lived there 22 years and are now complaining maybe they can find something to do for a few hours on Sunday instead of sitting on their front porch. As far as the families with young children are concerned when you buy a house in a town you must research everything around you and realize that in a town that has a race track there will be noise on the night they are scheduled to run. Either move further away from the track or sound proof your children's rooms to rectify the problem. I never have felt it was right for people to complain about a race track in a town when they knew or should have known about it when they first moved in.
