PIR does just fine having to deal with the 10 O'clock noise ordinance, I don't see why SRP would be any different.

since it was shut down for a year and didn't have any legal owners for that time they have lost the "Grandfather Law" for a year technically it was not a race track. before and during that time High end homes, condos, Kalispell Indian Casio and hotel went up around the SRP and been fighting the track for years about the noise until the property went up for auction and got there way.

Don't you just love that crap? Like the people that build houses next to an airport and then complain about noise. Duh.
Hopefully you guys will have a place to play this year.

Spokane County Raceway joins the ranks of NHRA member tracks
1/29/2009
Spokane County Raceway in Washington has joined the growing list of NHRA member tracks, NHRA officials announced today. The multipurpose motorsports facility, which includes a dragstrip, road course, and paved oval, is owned by Spokane County. The Board of County Commissioners recently signed a 25-year agreement with Austin Motorsports Management to operate the track. Austin Motorsports Management is owned by Bucky Austin, a successful businessman and drag racer. He has named Jay Livingston as general manager of the facility.
"We are very excited to bring NHRA Championship Drag Racing to the Spokane community," said Livingston. "There are a lot of great racers in this part of the country, and they deserve a first-class facility. Our goal is to exceed their expectations."
Austin's agreement with the county calls for at least $2 million in improvements, and work is already under way.
The track will host an NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event June 12-14, 2009. The rest of the 2009 schedule features a full slate of events, including the NHRA Summit Racing Series, the NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League, NHRA Drags: Street Legal Style presented by AAA, and several other major events. In 2010, it will host the NHRA Northwest Division Summit Racing Series Finals.
