Its the yuppy wankers that recently moved into the area. The established locals are fine with it. It's the OKyar types that have done all the bitching. Maybe some form of biker rally needs to be organised for the area, with lots of noisy exhausts, loud rock bands and rubbish strewn everywhere as a farewell party
It's the twats doing burnouts, wheelies and generally making a complete arse of themselves leaving the track that doesn't help. And that applies to the car drivers with their stupid little fucked up saxos and a million watt stereo. Suppose Palmer will now get it on the cheap, but if he turns it round then all good
If you can be bothered to read up on it you'll find the straw that broke the camels back with the locals was caused by Japfest, a car festival but with unlicensed music going on till 2am, its no wonder that they complained is it? Easy to moan at the nimby's and newbies - but if you've got kiddies that can't sleep because there's a shitload of noise going on, that the track owners expressly promised wouldn't happen then you'd be pissed off too. All the locals wanted was for Mallory management to keep to the noise levels they agreed to, but its gone beyond that now. Here's hoping that something gets sorted out. It's A Greedy Owner that may have cost us a racetrack, not complaining locals.
the awesomefest drifters are blaming the bike events for being the last straw and stopping them drifting there
it's funny, there's a different reason being sited for the mallory issue depending on which forum you look at. at the end of the day there's a conflict of interest between people using the facility and people who live there, so the people who live there *should* have a bigger say in what facilities are used in their community. if that means the people who use the facility need to run quiter bikes/cars/amps/PAs then that is what needs to happen. end of story. if not then the facility will close, so EVERYONE using it will need to comply or risk losing it.
some of the residents have been there all their life from a time when machines weren't very noisy and there weren't a lot of race events going on so they are well within their rights to want a restriction to the number of noisy days they have never wanted to stop all racing there however the current rent on the land meant the race organisers had to run more events to make it profitable unless the land owners relent and reduce the rent then I can't see things being resolved
