With the amount of new house development thats being built around the area, I will say this is a lost cause. Its sad but $$ talks. NJ is turning into fascist California.

Doubt that a petition isn't going to do much bro!

He's right. Land around almost any kind of venue like that is gonna be cheap and these hamsters will buy it up, pack in together and then start complaining about the noise. I've always wondered what peoples obsession is with living 10 feet from your neighbor and then complaining about noise from, oh let's say a racetrack that was there probably before most of those whiny turds were even born. I LOVE living out in the country. My closest neighbor is about 1/2 mile from me and it is GREAT!!!

But sadly, like it has been said above, $$$ talks. Land developers will see an opportunity to buy some land really cheap, build a bunch of cookie cutter houses on it and pass it off as a "family friendly" neighborhood and the sheeples will flock to it like ants to a sugar cube. And that's exactly what it sounds like has happened there.

I'm sure at first, the track owners just absorbed the cost of the lawsuits and moved on with events. But after a while, more and more complaints and lawsuits poured in and it got to be too much to absorb.
Either way, it is very sad to see a long standing track go down like that. The even scarier part is that this could only be the beginning and then what?

There might be a slight rise of street racing after this.
