NJMP has recently been sued by an organization named "Track Racket" started by a group of Millville residents who are complaining about track noise. Yesterday, as part of the NJMP bankruptcy proceedings a settlement was made with the organization. The article stated that part of the settlement is that NJMP will pay $81K of "Track Rackets" legal fees,  curb noise and "narrow" its operating hours. Specifically NO engines can be started before 8:30 AM and no "races" can start before 9 AM. Three races a year are exempt from this rule. It is not clear as to whether DE events are subject to this new rule. In addition to this the PA system needs to be changed and sound monitors are to be set up adjacent to the track and adjacent to select residences near the track. The track also must begin negotiations to develop commercially feasible ways to reduce sound.
 I am not sure what it means for PCA events; however we will know by spring. I will keep you posted if I see any additional press.:X

Hmmm.  Four folks in a financially depressed area looking for a payout?  I mean, I am no lawyer, but wouldn't these types of issues be hashed out prior to opening the track?  This whole suit just sounds fishy.

Don't get me wrong, these neighbors truly deserve to live in reasonable silence, but why wasn't this addressed earlier?

When the track applied for zoning an acceptable decibel level was determined and established. The track has not exceeded those guidelines; however the neighbors did not anticipate a 7 day a week operation or how far the wind would carry the noise.
 With the  track in chapter 11 as they resubmitted its Phase II plan with included a Moto/Auto Cross facility, The Track Racket group convinced the planning board to force the track to begin noise abatement efforts.
 The reality is a few are causing a fuss for many. As you mentioned Millville is finacially depressed and can use all the help it can get; however the Track Racket Group thinks it should be a retirement area!
