ROAD ATLANTA headed for trouble... !!

[cashflyer]

Copied this from my local racing forum:

Quote:
a developer has contracted to purchase a tract of property directly adjacent to Road Atlanta. The property line is 50 feet from the actual race track along Turn 9 backstretch. 9 acres will be reserved for commercial development and the remaining will be developed into High Density Residential called "Park at Riverside".

They are encouraging all to send a letter or email to the Hall County Commissioners supporting our urgent need to deny the residential portion of this rezoning. The project is up for review June 19th at the Hall County Planning Commission meeting.

Tom Oliver - Chairman

(BTW: Wayne - it looks like the BBS is having some trouble parsing email addresses.)

Why doesn't Panoz buy them out?

I'm sure the people will be like the idiots that buy next to train tracks and complain about the train noise. What fool would buy there?

I once worked at Smith-Reynolds airport in Winston-Salem, NC. The airport was one of those on Lindberg's national tour after his trans-Atlantic flight, IOW it had been in it's current location for a long time. Still, in the early 60's some AH's built houses within 200 yards of the end of the longest runway, and 737 departures by Piedmont Airlines rattled more than just the windows.

Yes, they thought that they had a right to complain about the noise, and were a continual problem while I was there, in the late 1970's.

Morons. Only a moron would buy a house next to a existing track or airfield and then complain about the noise.
