New Track In Sa Being Talked About On The News

[mid life crisis]

yep thats the one i was thinking of but how long b4 the rest of the docks get built on ?

i live 13 ks from speedway city and on a quite

night i can hear the sprint cars and thats over land noise travels really far over water and i think it wont be long b4 residents start whinging about the noise .

remember this complex will be there a long time and the developments will move closer and closer exactly the same thing happened to air and speedway city we have to make sure the same thing does not happen to a new complex we need to think of the long term solution not just build it and see what happens in the future it will be to late then and curfews will be put in place

rowley park speedway closed due to noise

speedway city and air curfews placed on them

murry bridge speeway curfew placed on them

timmis speedway mildura curfew placed on then and dozens of other tracks around the country you see where im going with this

The above phase goes until about 2018... and that stretches from the bridge under construction through to the old wharf and further away from Garden Island. So at the moment they don't have plans building any closer to etsa power facilities and garden island... and you'd still be looking another decade or more away at least. They'd first probably have to move the power facilities if they were looking at expanding newport down that way.

i still feel that noise would be a issiue even if the complex was built tomorrow with housing as it is right now .

dont get me wrong i am all for a new complex like kiawanna in wa not sure if thats correct spelling . i just dont want to restrictions placed on it right from the start

and if there is housing planned where the new bridge is thats not very far at all as the crow flies from garden island at all .

all we have to go on is what has happened to other tracks in the past and i feel the same thing will happen to a ne complex at garden island i just think it's too close to housing as it is .

it's like the people who have build houses at north haven on the marina then they yell at you at 4 in the morning when i launch my boat lol cause they dont like the sound of outboards

I was wondering about the noise traveling over the port river to victoria rd alot of older residents over that way

[Hotwire]

ummm.. that article is from February 14, and was the one that was linked in the original thread. This was before the Rally which lead to this news article going ahead. There is nothing new here, so we'll have to wait and see.

[SLED]

I hear your concerns loud & clear mid life and tend to agree that its a major concern.....surely the mayor & consortium of developers would be discussing that very issue, you would hope.

I would think these boys wouldn't want to fork out 25 mill (which will probably become 35 mill) to have restrictions imposed down the track.

Hopefully they have a really good think tank in progress before they start pouring.

PS: Thats probably the most typing in 1 day I've ever seen out of you mid life........time for a lie down and a bex buddy (washed down with some camomile or scotch)

[mid life crisis]

hey sled i will swap ya a bex for 2 of ya valiums and then wash then down with scotch

I don't care if they place say 10pm curfews - better to drag locally until 10pm, than drive out to the middle of nowhere, where it takes an hour travelling time each way, then if you bust or need to replace something you have to pay mega-bucks for a tow etc etc.

I can't see noise impinging on any existing houses, and people who plant o move to the area just need to be aware that there will be noise, and not bitch and moan about it. I take your points mid life crisis - people who whinge about boat noise should not have built on the water .... that is like building under an air route and then complaining about the noise (which I know people in Richmond did - idiots).

Andrew you know better than to expect that, you only have to look at Sanddown in Melb, live music venues in city's, airports shifting out, etc, etc.

People move in, whinge, and noise-makers are forced out.

Look this is all very exciting but until I see bulldozers I'm not getting my hopes up.

[Blue32]

I say order all those who whinge about noise a whaa-mburger and cries - I support the closer venue and the fact you don't have to faff about transiting for over an hour to get to your destination to 'be a hoon' and enjoy your car in a legal environment costing you $$

[Deluxe]

What does it matter if there was a curfew on it anyways, As Ash has stated at Sandown when we went we couldn't start our engines(race cars) until like 8:30am because of houses pretty much on the boundary. When have you been to Mallala and have been watching racing OR drift when it has gone past 10pm or thereabouts. Your seriously NOT going to be going to a drag strip at 2am in the morning are you!1 or are you gonna be fully sicked out cruising down Hindly St at 1am in the morning and confront a random tool that wants a drag and you say "look mate the track is down at Pt Adelaide, lets go there for a drag" and then get there and make someone turn the lights on down there for you at a 27+ million dollar venue!! Not gonna happen!!

[Madaz]

yeah im old enough now that if it closes @ 10 no big deal just go home to bed

[mid life crisis]

i think so off you are blinded by the fact that someone wants to build a new complex im rapt and want it to happen as well .

but there is nothing worse than paying ya money and ive had this happen to me a few times so i know what im on about when ya get to the track u usually have been working on all week to get it there say its drag night for example the meeting starts you have paid ya dough the meeting falls behind scedule due to a crash or a oil down and b4 ya know it ya pushing ya car back on the trailer to go home cause the curfew as been inforced .

so youve worked all week on the car paid ya dough and due to something happerning that holds the meeting up for a while you miss out not much fun in that i can tell ya

[Deluxe]

Thats happend many a times to us in Sprint Karting, Superkarting and in IPRA, Last race of the day gets scrapped or cut down in laps, not much you can do about it, besides the flaggies, marshals and Ambo people cant be out there all day including a extra 2 hours because a meeting has run overtime!! It's just bad luck i guess, and in circuit racing its up to us to stay off the track if we've blown something so generally if that occurs we all go out on the track and help with the cement dust!! I guess thats just life, not much you can do about it!!

[mid life crisis]

thats all true deluxe but it doe's not make it easier when ya working to a curfew time

[Deluxe]

Oh well, we live in a far from perfect world, will be good just to have a track again!!

[RubyRS4]

The noise emitted will be the biggest hurdle. But there are ways around it.

I just hope this new strip allows even runs for motorbikes too. I always got frustrated with watching the same cars run thru 2-3 times before the bikes got to play. We pay the same as the car entries, and we're quicker anyway! Cars would get like 10-15 runs on a busy night, and we got 5-6! On a good night we'd get maybe 9. We always had arguments with the officials on this one many times

[SLED]

I hear ya both Deluxe & Mid Life and in a perfect world we need a track without curfews, but at the end of the day if a track without curfews becomes a prerequisite to getting one, then bring on the curfews because ultimately this state must get an all in one circuit. We're already seen as a joke state by melbournians.

And lets all hope they're smart enough to at least orientate the strip west-east.
