I guess we will all know what will happen otherwise.

This has been there for 81 years, lets keep it that way!

I'm not into this, but I'll sign it for people that are- and there's loads of them. Be a shame to see it go.

Loved it when Dad took me here as a kid. We lived in Morningside so used to walk down the hill - always a great night!

Neither, I don't like it but its the arrogance of the people that moved to the area, knowing its there, then complain about the noise, hence why it annoys me.

Hope the track gets its way.

I signed,

I used to go there a LOT for racing (pit crew for Lyndon Kendall) and spectate loads.

I would say to these wowsers: YOU chose to move to this area, KNOWING that racing was an institution at the Springs and has been for yonks.

IF it displeases YOU, install Double Glazing in your house, install earplugs in ya kids lugs and HARDEN THE F**K UP!!

Failing that, I dunno, umm let me see, Oh, I know MOVE to a QUIETER area.............Bloody woofters!

It seems to me that these residents bring these complaints up every couple of years, I think their plan is to chip away at the speedway club over a number of years and back them into a corner.
I wonder how many residents have actually complained.

I remember going to the last speedway meeting at Bay Park, in the mid 90's.
Haven't been to Te Marua for a while.

I would love to live in one of the houses that back on to the speed way. Signed sealed and delivered as far as the petition goes.

It's bullshit. It happens in OZ all the time. Racetracks, speedways, airports. All of which were there long before the residents making the complaints.

Archerfield speedway in Brisbane is currently undergoing a similar thing, it' been there for many years (near 100, I believe), 2 years ago someone with a get rich quick scheme decided to build a geriatrics home just behind the speedway on the cheap land that was available.

Now, of course, the speedway noise is too much for the geriatrics who live there and there is pressure to close the speedway.

I've signed as well. This crap is happening more and more, and we all need to band together to stop it.

another good example is the paraparumu airport in kapiti, which was built in 1939 and is hated by the locals because of the extensive helicopter traffic that takes place due to the flight training school there.
