"Earlier this week, the Kansas state legislature passed HB2416, which, as stated in the bill’s text, creates “the Kansas motorsports venue protection act to provide immunity to motorsports venues from civil actions for nuisance, taking or similar legal theories.”

In essence, it prevents outside forces from legally challenging motorsports venues’ operation due to nuisance violations—think: noise, traffic, and any other potential impact that surrounding towns, housing developments, and businesses deem as such. It would grant civil immunity to roughly 20 existing tracks and prevent complaints from residents who moved within a five-mile radius after those venues were established.

 
i think this is kind of a big deal, one that sets precedent, hopefully introduced and implemented in other states.
SRCA back this year with all concrete strip and new tower. double D july 9-12 (div. and reg.)...... IMO this place will be
capable of hosting a nat. event if ever the opportunity.

Agree, nice to see the pendulum swing a little the other way isn't it?

I live right across the street from a railroad spur for several years. As long as they didn't stop the locomotive right there I hardly noticed after a while.

I'm around 8-10 mile N. of Newaygo, and there's a track running along M37 - probably a mile away how the crow's fly.
It comes through in the wee hours a few times as well as random daily stuff, usually hauling fire bricks or materials for, and when the leaves are off the trees, it like it's passing right behind the garage.

To better put it into perspective, an engineer I used to work with once said (he loves skiing) "I'd love to have the Rockies right out my window", to which I said "No you wouldn't". Puzzled he said "Why?"... I told him after awhile, you wouldn't even notice them.

That train that comes by here sometimes carries loaded tankers, so it can kinda pound the ground with a typical haul and I sleep right through it so like you Ken, pay it no mind...
If there was a strip near - I'd probably be at the fence sniffing! LOL

Anyone ever watch "Longmire"? I loved that cabin Walt had and the view he had from that front porch.
