Looks like Road Atlanta just got AMP'd

So as some of you may or may not know when they built AMP (atlanta motorsports park) there wasn't much of any limits because it was way out there, but then people started building and moving in around the track and decided they didn't like the noise so they imposed limits on the track. Now this has happened:

The rich and infamous are doing it simply to make money of course, but what do you thinks gonna happen to the track...traffic...limits...cost...and so on. The 10am to noon is doable but still painful to plan around, but if they're gonna be that close AND with assisted living?!? *slaps forehead* It's like moving next to an airport and complaining about jet engines.

What happened to "who was there first"?

Unbelievable. That happened to a track near Denver 15 years ago. So ridiculous.

If it's a "mile" from Chateau Elan then it is a good distance away from Road Atlanta, that whole area is exploding but I think you'll find that Road Atlanta has some deep pockets to protect it.

Jim - Did you open the link with the map? It's only a couple hundred feet away from the loudest corner. Granted they may partner somehow but it's unlikely to be in or favor.
