I totally support speedway. Those that complain about the noise are very short sighted.
 
Speedway is family entertainment and good clean fun. Driving in demolition derbies has been the biggest high I've ever had in my life, natural or otherwise.

Dont think its just about the noise anymore. Council thinking about moving speedway to another site using western springs for "more important" things.

Those in the area who complain are probably the same ones who pretty much enjoy free concerts year round from the comfort of their balconies.

Keep speedway! It's as much part of Auckland as rednecks are to Texas.

amazing that these people complain so much about the noise considering they can hear all the wild animals, like loins roaring, elephants trumpeting, monkeys screeching, birds screaming, you would have thought the zoo made more noise continuously than the speedway over a few weekends...

    
Thanks for everything you did for us Eric. may you rest in peace, You were one of the real legends of NZ recreational fishing

As it is speedway meetings have been cut back, surely this is enough for the local people, who as others have said, moved in, knowing full well who their neighbour was! I personally love stock cars (nothing like a few crashes) , but usually attend at least 1 or 2 meetings a year at the springs, would be a real shame to see this gone. Have signed petition.

thanks for this Steve ... have passed it on to my mates ... i live on Chinamans Hill just up from the speedway ,my yuppy neighbours are among those who complain - these are people who have only just moved into the area , you can barely hear the midgets at all its certainly no big hassle , can hear the concerts ( ac/dc was great ) and as lethal said the zoo is a hell of a lot noisier ... Lions go all night on a full moon .

Problem is , the people whinging are very self interested and educated and have the nous to know the system and how to get their voice heard , unfortunately they usually get their way .

The next on the hit list is that they want Richmond League kicked out of Grey Lynn park , as an ex league player im gutted .... Richmond League club has been there since 1911 when the original club members drained the swamp that was there and created the park by hand  , the old buggars will be turning in their graves ( many of them died in the first war ) all this because these newbies dont like big smelly league players making noise and churning up the park .

Tis sad that such a minority get such a big voice , i really hope this petition goes well .
