Pumps' Perplexities

About one mile away, here in Jabunyaville, is a small
"stock car" race track.....It is only about 1/4 of a mile
long, used by amateur drivers and built in 1947 way
before the NASCAR racing craze......

When this race track was built is was almost considered
a small day trip to travel from the downtown area of
the city.....It was just a small track for the "Good Olde
Southern Boys" to have some fun.......Drivers these
days try to get some practice on Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons......Formal racing is conducted
on Friday and Saturday nights..........

Question........Why would a land developer build
a "subdivision" of houses costing better than $300,000
only 1/8 of a mile away from it?...........

Since the area has built up over the last 60 years, some
homeowners have complained about the "racing" noise
but unfortunately the race track was here first......And
the homeowners have not recourse.......Also for this
noise reason the race track can not be enlarged......

But who in their right mind will buy an expensive house
within walking distance of it?.......Someone will......
And then start to complain about the noise........Pumps
