Have you considered relocating further inland, away from the “moon bats”?

Had to look this one up. I’m assuming this is what you’re referring to:

‘The term "moonbat" is often used to refer to individuals or groups who are perceived as alarmist or fanatical, particularly in the context of anti-war activism, environmentalism, and other leftist political movements.’

Then I double checked. Thought I had gone to the Clubhouse. Lol

Unfortunately I didn't have to look that up - I am surrounded by them and they are all rabid!

Whether North or South, Rural living seems synonymous with loud cars and louder motorcycles ( Harleys, 2-Strokes, and the Japan-ese bikes ).

Oh and a few racetracks.

Which perfectly describes city dwellers like you WHEN it comes to drag strips, even when the drag strip was there long before their ticky tack subdivision was a realtor’s wildest fantasy. If it weren’t for the NHRA, IRP would be a distant memory.

Sounds exactly what happened to Englishtown Raceway Park. Built mcmansions next to the track, then complain about the track. I hope every one of those homeowners that complained, dies of a$$ cancer.

Precisely. Only NHRA intervention saved IRP years ago.
