Depending on the exact location it will be about 5-6 miles from my house.

--The motorsports complex would be on 300+ acres and would have a 2.1-mile paved track that would "follow the natural contour of the land in order to preserve the natural beauty of the Ozarks. The objective is to bring a familiy friendly racing complex with an international flair to southwest Missouri."

--The developers hope to bring in professional road racing, including events such as Speed World Challenge, American Le Mans, Grand Am Cup and AMA motorcycle racing. They also foresee amateur SCCA regional and national races, NASA, vintage sports car racing, and individual maquee club events such as those of the Porsche Club of America, BMW Car Club of America, Corvette and Shelby clubs.

I think I would prefer more distance than that between my home and a racetrack.

They tend to be noisy.

IC road trip for when the circuit opens up for it's first race.

Cool! It'd be a longer version of Hallett (http://www.hallettracing.net/). And only 4 hours away from me too! I'd love to hit it for a vintage racing weekend.

They tend to be noisy.There are a lot of tall trees between my house and the race track so I don't think noise will be a factor.

If I don't have enough room in the house for anyone that wants to stay overnight, I have plenty of land (9 acres) for pitching tents. :)

Maybe you could open up paid parking in your yard on raceday :) I have seen that a lot going to a NASCAR race.
