NJMP under fire! WTF?

[Doc]

Your posts just get dumber every passing year.....

You would come up and ride!

[The Snowman]

oh wait, I get your point now

Hopefully the track will be lucrative enough to be able to put up some sound barriers in key places.

Then they'd complain that the barriers were ugly.

This lady should stop into my place sometime. With an onramp to a highway in my driveway and 6 lanes of traffic that seemingly never ceases, somehow I still find a way to manage and live on.

Only redeeming value of that video is from about 2:15 to 4:48. It's like poetry in motion.

TDI Audi R10's for everyone then. As much as I'd like to say we really need to try to keep our sport as quiet as possible, I think this lady would likely complain about tire noise from an all-electric track.

It's always the middle aged cranky white women who has the problems.. menopause ruins the lives of everyone around them.

Bitch needs to learn to make a webiste w/out using frames as well

Must be a week when the batteries in her toy died.

Arguably one of the more fun on ramps for flat footing the Evo I might add if I catch the green light coming from Flagstone Dr. It's one continuous right hand drift....

Try drifting it from my garage to the onramp. That's when your balls descend.

All I see from studying the website is they want money. They want $100 and claim you need to join to recieve $. They do not care about reducing so called noise. They are interested in compensation. I would not cancel hotel reservations. A lousy lawyer tring to make a dollar. Nothing more. File a suit and hope for a settlement before a judge tosses it out.

[e30addict]

hmmm - there's more to this it seems:

"This is a case about a corporation that promised a world of wealth and security to a small municipality in southern New Jersey and yet delivered a debt-ridden dragon that breathes the unrelenting fire of noise pollution and debilitation, which threatens to consume and then destroy a small community," the suit reads.

The park's next piece of development is a recently announced 10-acre motocross facility. The motocross facility was not in the Motorsports Park's original developer's agreement, so it will need City Commission approval before moving forward. The project is expected to come before the commission on Tuesday and then the city's Planning Board will review the application on Jan. 11

What aggrevates me is that it is hard enough to find a good track without have to travel to China and now these azzhats wanna try to shut it down. You'd see how fast they shut up if the state offered them petty market value for their houses to move somewhere...

"Griffin said the group doesn't have an exact decibel-level they think would be acceptable, but said the number is likely closer to 40 decibels."

Obviously this clown hasn't done any research and didn't pay attention in basic elementary school science classes. 40 dB is a little unreasonable. An air conditioner and conversation-level speech are around 60 dB. Fucking douchebags. This suit will get thrown out; the truly annoying parts are the media coverage that lends the group credibility and the legal costs to the track to fight it.

And why doesn't someone tell these people that the reason their homes have depreciated over the last few years MIGHT be that the economy's in the shitter and it's kind of a nationwide thing, not just them?

They don't wanna shut it down. They wanna shake it down.

They don't want to shut it down. They'd be burned at the stake for destroying the only ray of light the local economy has seen in years.

This is about whiny, bitchy people trying to cash in.

[daviid]

the videos sound like they took the audio right next to the track. there is no way what they are claiming is true. Shit, going down the access road at VIR, you cannot hear the vehicles on track.

[Rambunctous]

They are not that loud even in the infield. I think that was a onboard microphone. Even right on the finish line the car/bike would gradually get louder as it gets closer, then get quiet as it moves away. Then when at the oppisite side of the track be almost inaudible.

[xrocket21]

lol,. there isnt a house within 2 miles

[aneweira]

UGH...i think the sound of her voice is way more annoying than the race noises. And there are alot more people that have to live next to noisier areas that dont complain. Heck, all winter long I have to listen the the rednecks bombing up and down the lake on their snowmobiles, and loud two strokes are way worse then cars and bikes. Especially coming across a lake with very little to buffer the sound. Some people just are not happy unless they have something to bitch about. And that broad probably doesnt even live anywhere near the track, she just wants to save the world. Tell the old peeps whining to turn down their hearing aids and they wouldnt have an issue.

I would gladly buy any of their homes just so I could have a racetrack in my backyard.

[QUOTE=csmutty;843877]What a bitch...

I just have to reply. That recording was not, and could not have been recorded in her backyard. Without even seeing her backyard the only thing we know is she is misrepresenting herself.

If she was recording that from a stationary place we would be hearing about the same pattern over and over again as cars prepared for a certain part of the track. What I hear seems to be a recording I guess taken from one of those guys who feels the need to record everything they have ever done from within or on the car. I hear some one running through the gears, single and double down shifts and other things that would have to come from different turns and straights, not just one.

[butcher bergs]

I don't think she was insinuating that the dB ratings from her vid is what she hears in her back yard. My interpretation of her example is that she was using the dB meter to show the politicians what each dB level sounded like.

[CEO]

Decibels referenced to what? In what conditions? At what distance? Fucking idiots.

40dB... Fucking idiots.

Our society is two things that are a terrible combo and make it very very sad: litigious and idiotic.

Hopefully nothing will actually come of this...

It seems pretty simple to me. the ordinance is at a certain level and the sound that track creates is WELL below that. then they complain about the winter auto x series when thats probably one of the quieter events.
the people are just wasting their time and money. they dont really have a legal leg to stand on

[Kitt]

When I buy my next house in the woods, I'd like peace and quiet when I'm relaxing in the yard - I'm moving to the country to do this... I'd get upset too if the track sounded trackside in my yard.

I just don't buy the whole idea that the sounds are as recorded... When I'm at registration the track doesn't even sound that loud... that's about 1500 ft from the track.

Oh well, hopefully they can build barriers and make it more livable for these people, otherwise... like it or not, they should leave. The business owners did everything lawfully, and should not be punished because the sound ordinance that was viewable to these residents since they were established, are not good enough for them (and they are deciding that now).

I don't think she was insinuating that the dB ratings from her vid is what she hears in her back yard. My interpretation of her example is that she was using the dB meter to show the politicians what each dB level sounded like.

But on the Track Racket site, there is video where a resident (most likely that stupid bitch in the video), is using that same type of sound meter to measure track noise from someone's backyard.

It ranges between 40 and 75dB. The question is, where is this backyard?
