Kev-  Sad indeed.  It still irks me to no end about the demise of East Windsor Speedway.  A development is built just off the 4th turn.  Several years later, the track succombs to the constant noise complaints and strick noise regs.  In cases like EWS, its not right as the track was there about 30+ years before the first "4th turn" house was built.  That number would be even bigger if you include the old Hightstown 1/4 asphalt track.  But, it comes down to a numbers game,  the promotor, and maybe a few fans and/or racers, versus the many residents of that development off the 4th turn.  I honestly don't know how Bridgeport hs survived this long given its proximity to I-295 and Philadelphia.  Don't know if its true but I heard years ago that the land where Bridgport is located, as well as the surrounding area, isn't suitable for housing.  Something to do with the water table maybe?  Scott Ely
