It goes without saying that racetracks are loud, noisy environments where race-prepped cars, bikes, and other vehicles come to test, practice, and surprise, surprise, race. As such, what happens if you build your house near a racetrack? Well, you either did so because you’re a racing enthusiast, or you just accept that having a somewhat noisier environment is just part of the package.
As it would turn out, not everyone takes such a logical approach to things, as now, Monterey County, the proud owner of the iconic Laguna Seca racetrack, is being sued by a handful of residents in the area who’ve formed a group that calls itself the Highway 68 Coalition. The group filed a lawsuit against Monterey County, the Board of Supervisors, and the Friends of Laguna Seca (FLS), a non-profit organization meant to preserve the iconic raceway. Highway 68 Coalition cites nuisances for local residents during race weekends and track days, which supposedly disrupt the peace and quiet of their community.
