Call me a NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) but it seems that's not an appropriate place for such a track and I don't blame the neighbors one bit for being upset. There's a similar situation here in Alton with someone who wants to put in a motocross track but the neighbors are not for it at all.
The zoning board/planning board of a town is supposed to weigh such complaints and consider if something is going to change the nature of a neighborhood. Any variances can upset people who have been living in an abutting property and yes, can decrease their property value.
As much as I wish Chuckster's success, I do not wish those with their tiny piece of the American Dream to lose out because of Chucksters.

Thanks to the LaCava Family for their thoughtful posts. I wish my children had been a little older when you had the business so we could have visited.
