Anyone who loves drifting
Please sign this petition relieving a ban in drifting at Turner Field in Atlanta through sound regulation. Even if it is not near you, the brotherhood that all motorists share should be worth a couple minutes of your time to help out each other. Thank you!

Yeah, well that's what happens when you repeatedly hold an event full of obnoxiously loud cars next to a residential area. Why do you think autocross events and racetracks across the country have noise restrictions? At Laguna Seca, if you're louder than 92dB@50' you get kicked out. Why? because loud cars piss off the neighbors, and pissed off neighbors are a great way to get an event or an entire track shut down permanently. These chuckleheads in Atlanta brought this on themselves. If the event organizers had instituted and strictly enforced noise restrictions this situation could have been avoided entirely.

I think the other side is, if you dont want to be bothered by noise, then don't move next to a stadium or racetrack! Seem's pretty simple doesnt it? Apart from that, all the events are held in the middle of the day, where things such as games, concerts, and firework events can all go into the night with higher dB ratings but with no consequence. That is where we are having this fallout and why we think the ban is unjust. It is simple discrimination towards the drifitng community.

The drift events at Turner Field have been getting noise complaints for as long as there have been drift events at Turner Field, enough so that in 2009 the SCCA guys voluntarily and proactively enacted a 93dB@50' limit which means stock-ish sound levels. The drift events' decibel limit were "Have a muffler of some sort". Drifters are not being singled out, they have singled themselves out with their outlaw/fuck-the-neighbors mentality. No other grassroots motorsport gets to pull that sort of shit and get away with it, but drifters cry foul because they don't get to either? They knew which way the wind has been blowing and they've had years to make changes voluntarily. Now they're bitching and moaning because they're the only ones facing the consequences of the actions that only they took. My heart bleeds for them. |
