Our local drag strip, Long Island Motorsports Raceway, closed a couple of years ago. It was located in Westhampton and wasn't the best facility in the world, but it was a place to "run" your car without having to drive to New Jersey. One of the reasons for it's closing, was the huge amounts of noise complaints. It had gotten so bad that the track would not allow you to run "open headers" and if by chance you came to the track without mufflers, they added another $20.00 to your admission fee.
