The area the track is located in is relatively rural, although there are houses right across the street and next door (within 50 yards). The Molers did leave a tree line around the tracks property to help with the noise. Some of the complaints are related to how late the track was running on some Friday nights. I am not sure what kind of Environmental regulations were involved in getting permits to build the track. You might be able to contact Kevin or Kim Moler @ MRP. The 2009 MRP schedule is out, so they are racng in '09.

First thing that came to mind. They didn't oppose it when it was being built, but they did after the track was. I see their point, yet they should have complained BEFORE the track was built.
