Why do we have to do noise testing at Lakeside?
Lakeside International Raceway, or Lakeside Park as it is now known, has many residents within ear shot of the track which means the freedoms Lakeside used to have with regard to operating hours and noise generation is no longer feasible due to the inconvenience it will bring to its neighbours.  In addition, there are laws which govern the amount of noise which a resident can be expected to accept.  Whilst Lakeside existed long before any of these people moved into the area and these laws were drafted, the "we were here first" argument does not carry much weight.
