Call us alarmist if you want, but in following the news wires and getting tips from readers, it’s clear that racing facilities in this country are under attack. If you’ve been reading us over the last couple weeks you’ve seen soties about potential new tracks being shot down, established tracks begin shuttered, and now this, New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey, is being sued by a group calling themselves TrackRacket. If this ain’t war, we don’t know what is.
NJ Motorsports Park hosts two road courses and a kart track. It sits on 700 acres and features all kinds of different equipment through the year from amateur sporty car racing to ARCA stock cars attacking the winding bends.
A reader tipped us to a news story that appears on the Press of Atlantic City website describing how the TrackRacket group is suing the track on the grounds that it was deceptive about the amount of help the facility would bring the local economy and the amount of noise pollution it would create.
In an amazingly frustrating admission, the laywer for the jerks suing the track admits that the track operates within legal noise levels but the track is not exempt from, “state laws for noise pollution and nuisance.” How in the hell is a “nuisance” legally defined?
This quote was pulled directly from the story and caused our blood pressure to spike. We’re hoping the track has good legal representation on this as well.
“This is a case about a corporation that promised a world of wealth and security to a small municipality in southern New Jersey,” the suit reads. “Yet delivered a debt-ridden dragon that breathes the unrelenting fire of noise pollution and debilitation, which threatens to consume and then destroy a small community.”
