Ridge Road.
The speedway existed well before those homes were built (late 80’s), so those owners had no case against the speedway. However, now that it’s closed I’m sure a case could be made that reopening it as a speedway would harm property values which have now appreciated without the issue of being adjacent to an active speedway.
I’m certainly not saying that the county hypothetically should have forced the SSS to close back in 2019, because that would have violated the speedway owners’ property rights. But it’s closed now and has been sold, so there really isn’t a speedway there at all.

Your argument still doesn't make sense. You said that if the county could make money off the speedway you'd say "Get 'er done!". We're saying the county could make money off it. Just going off what you said that should trump the issue of noise for those homeowners because it's a better use for the entirety of the county.

In taxes. Tax revenue is the goal.
