We have the same problem with noise restrictions on race cars at Portland International Raceway VS: Portland International Airport.

The airport was there before the racetrack. The race track was there before many of the houses in the immediate area. The home owners complain about the race car noise, but not much said for the airplanes????

The race cars are restricted for noise, but the damn planes can take off and land and make all kinds of racket and nobody does anything about it???? Just seems to be way off balanced on applying the noise restrictions to noise makers.

I don't think the baseball bat priciple would do any good to change things, but it would sure help with the immediate satisfaction of getting even!
