FIRST PERSON/OPINION

Via e-mail:

In regards to Alan Wilson’s comments on self-regulation and noise control for race organisations/tracks etc.:

I have to agree, we all love the sound of motorcycles and indeed fighter planes and quite frankly there is much visceral enjoyment to be lost as noise controls become more and more strict. Mr. Wilson knows of what he speaks, in fact one of the projects he is working with is in my area. It has and no doubt will continue to be threatened by activists, on the basis of noise and other un-founded concerns. Will self-imposed noise limits across tracks/organisations help this? Hard to say… it might or it might not, but I would rather work through the efforts of sorting these things out with those directly involved rather then wait until those that are not involved force the decisions upon us.

On a related note, it was worth noting the comments about the internet and its empowerment of radical activists… for example: http://www.savecalabogie.com/news.html
