(E-2) Update on Concord Motorsports Park John Day, County Manager, reported a community meeting was held in May to addresses concerns from some residents around Concord Motorsports Park. The meeting was well-attended by residents and track officials, as well as a NASCAR representative. The primary concern of the residents appeared to be the loudness of the Bandolier and Legend racecars which do not have mufflers. Mr. Day stated the track officials had voluntarily agreed to require mufflers on these cars starting in August. He also reported that track officials had advised they make a concerted effort to make sure all events end at 10: 00 p.m. on weekends. Because Concord Motorsports Park has petitioned for voluntary annexation into the Town of Midland, Mr. Day did not recommend any changes to the Noise Ordinance or other regulations at this time.
