There's a word for people like this - but it's not often used by a pastor, I'd guess. :roll:

[quote="pastor bubba"]My dad started taking me to Tunis Speedway in Waterloo, IA when I was around 5. It was an excellent dirt track. When it was built, there wasn't a thing around except fields. Tunis started life as a horse racing track and then was transformed into a 3/8 mile oval. Both tracks are still visible to this day. As time went by, houses were built and then in the late 70s early 80s, people who lived in the houses complained so much that they got the track closed. Now in my way of thinking, you move into a house next to an active race track, then you should expect a bit of noise once a week throughout the summer months.

So many great tracks, such as Riverside, that it boggles the mind.
Now they are fighting to keep the Nurburgring alive................................
