That sound system looked like the space shuttle, nothing like it at the time. McIntosh amps and JBLs, lots of them

Back in the early '50s, when the Pebble Beach races were proposed, neighbors complained about the possibility of noise and traffic and the track had to be moved and was shortened from 3.8 to 1.8 miles. There was only one event each year '50-'56. The race moved to the new Laguna Seca track in '57 and called the "8th Annual Pebble Beach at Laguna Seca - National Championship Sports Car Road Races". There were only two events each year up to the mid '60s. I don't know if there were noise complaints.
Here is some more info-opinion on the law suit:

Thanks for posting that video.

It seems that the Friends of Laguna Seca website is down.

I think Fox has gotten you so worked up about the enemies (real or imagined) that any time you hear about something you don't like you immediately think of "those damned democrats." Remember when you could distinguish between our actual differences like foreign policy, tax policy, and civil liberties. Back when our voting preference didn't indicate we had devil horns and abuse children in a non-existent pizza parlor basement? 3 of my best friends are extremely right wing and politically we have nothing in common. We met through work, attended each others' weddings, care for each other like brothers and there's literally nothing about our political differences that ever comes into play. Point being there's no need to think of half the country as your sworn enemy. I know by the law of averages that you have friends and family who are on the opposite end of the spectrum than you and you have seen that they're good honest people too.

It would be easy for me to dismiss you as some Texas crackpot who's actively working to rewrite the nation's textbooks with garbage about "the real cause of the northern aggression" and "intelligent design" but you could actually be well educated and decent and the kinda guy who helps your neighbor and cares for your family. You know, all the stuff that actually makes you a decent person. If you go back to the things we actually disagree about: taxes, foreign policy, civil liberties, etc, none of those makes a person good or evil. Two reasonable people can find themselves on opposite sides of each one of those opinions.

So back to the actual topic of this thread, far removed from the BS that has nothing to do with anything, I can tell you that I (someone who grew up in TX and hated it, someone who lives in a big city in CA, someone who votes Blue, someone who hates Trump more than anyone ever hated anyone else) think these guys who are suing Laguna are in the wrong and I hope they're laughed out of court and ideally counter sued.
Sorry, but in no way did his statement imply any political affiliation. I've lived in CA. There are ******** in CA, and they reach from the left to the right, up and down. And yes, hundreds of thousands of people have left CA in the past few years, and they also run the spectrum. And any rich guy that buys land and builds a mansion next to a race track, and then complains about it is truly an *******.

Now try and figure out what my political sway is... the point is you can't. So quit showing yours. And let's get back to the the point of the article - ******** in CA being ********.

Dude likes his opinions known that's for sure.

https://www.montereyherald.com/2021/...n-assignments/

During the board’s consent agenda consideration, Corral de Tierra activist Mike Weaver questioned a $1.275 million contract for temporary workers at Laguna Seca, arguing that it was difficult to justify given how the current management team had “alienated” Sports Car Racing Association of the Monterey Peninsula volunteers, and questioning why so many track rental events with multiple participants and many from out of town are being allowed to occur during the pandemic lockdown.


In response, County Counsel Les Girard and Laguna Seca general manager John Narigi explained that the temporary workers would be taking on duties not conducted by volunteers, and Narigi said no county money would be used because track renters would pay. Narigi added that he was proud that the county-owned facility was allowed to continue operating under “extremely” strict safety protocols — like local golf courses — and had contributed some economic input despite the canceling of much of last year’s racing season.

“Our only recourse is the courts,” Weaver says. “It’s not a path we willingly started to go down. Nobody wants to deprive the man of his property rights, but this is out of bounds.”
