This is an odd story, like Matt I have been involved in short oval racing for years and this one has some strange issues.
The couple bought a house near the track, claiming they didnt know about the noise. Then their oil tank dropped its oil and strangely the house burned down.
Then there were reports about disturbance from people to do with the racing fraternity, then we get this.
THe case was thrown out of one court and is now been to teh high Court and sustained.
If it goes through a track surrounded by farms and an airfields and farms for decades goes under and with it speedway, dogs and a thriving stock car track.
But the people running it apparently did not present a very good case to defend their tracks according to the judge, and this is the important message.
it is no good claiming innocence and that the tracks has been here for years, the judge sadi the hosue and plot had been there longer
It doesnt wash and more work needs to be done in these cases to make the judge aware of what could be lost, what the benefits are and attempting to do all you can to prevent noise, disturbance and issues.
You can no expect a judge to be behind you, he will nearly always side with the complainant, as he did in the Croft case.
