Neighbors Sue Man for Working on Cars in His Garage

Drag strip in my region had a serious battle with neighbors.... over noise. There are some here that may know more about this than I do, but Byron drag way in Byron, IL had legal battles to stay in business. To my understanding, folks built new homes around an existing drag way, then complained about noise. Owner tried to work with the neighbors by changing the times of events so the noise wouldn't go late in the night, and also encouraged racer by offering them some sort of benefit if they raced through mufflers.
In the end, the dragstrip is still there and running...... If I mixed anything up in this story, then somebody here that races there can correct the facts.
