Noise? ZOOM... ZOOM...ZOOM....

Controlling The Noise: "Modern motorsports facilities are designed and constructed with acoustics in mind. They are designed to minimize the amount of noise that leaves the site. For example, at our facility in Fontana, California, vehicles passing on a street 1/2 mile from the track are louder than a racecar itself. A Washington facility, like our speedway in Kansas City, will be built in a bowl excavated in the site to reduce the level of sound leaving the track area." http://www.race2wa.com/the_plan/speedway/

What brought this topic to my attention was when I mentioned building a racetrack in Washington State to my Grandma Kay, "Racetracks can be very noisey, when we lived a couple miles from the motorcross track it drove me nuts, " she said. So, because of her this issue got my attention. It had never occurred to me before her comment that this could be a problem for voters in Kitsap. When I have left California Speedway, before the race was over, even right outside the facility I have never heard the track noise. But, from researching I have found that noise control is an important topic among voters. So, I have decided to research the topic of noise control. The above information about noise control comes from www.race2wa.com. So, in closing, if anyone has topics they feel need to be researched let me know because this topic hadn't occurred to me and it is obviously an important one for local voters.
