Is the track open to the public?
Palmer Motorsports Park is operated as a private facility and as such is not open to the general public. That said, some groups renting the facility do welcome visitors to their events. All persons entering the facility must show a photo ID and sign a waiver to gain admission to restricted race track property.

What is the policy on noise and does Palmer Motorsports Park have a sound limit?
PMP enforces strict sound monitoring and control policies. All track sessions are monitored and any offending vehicle is immediately black-flagged and given two chances to make adjustments, a third offense parks the vehicle. Participants are requested to check their vehicle for compliance before coming to the track.

Does Palmer Motorsports Park have other strategies for reducing or mitigating sound levels?
Yes, PMP has installed sound-absorbing fabric around the race track. The fabric has been found to reduce sound levels ~16-18 dB. In addition, the track maintains an inventory of tailpipe baffle inserts (from 2" to 4" diameter) that are easy to install, nonrestrictive, and will reduce exhaust up to -6 dB.
|
Are there other sources of high sound in the area?
Yes, there is an outdoor shooting range and gun club that operates nearby and there are a few railroad lines traversing the area. These businesses are grandfathered or otherwise exempt from scrutiny. While we are required to operate the race track within the law, we also acknowledge a civic obligation to the community, to promote its social and economic well being, to support local causes. So perhaps another source of high sound is us tooting our own horn.

Does Palmer Motorsports Park have a Facebook page?
PMP has had multiple Facebook pages: one official page and another unofficial page not supported by track management. TheOfficial PMP Facebook Page has postings about upcoming and recent events and noteworthy developments.
