The value of noise

[Gray E Fowler]

Car racing is restricted to the track...everyone there expects it to be 
loud. Old Mary Jane RottenC who lives in the house at the end of your 
overfly area, regardless of what we think, does not share your enthusiasm 
for the noise. She does know the name of your county commisioners, your 
city commisioners, The local Corps of Engineers, and anyone else that can 
give your local club grief.

District 6 lost a great contest this year due to the excitment of last 
years IMAC noise. In my opinion, it would have been more exciting to fly 
our pattern contest this year, than watch the IMAC guys last year.

BTW-I love the races.....and I am an ex rock band dude.....no one seems to 
understand my love of volume either. I cannot expect them to understand, 
and that is the problem we face with our toys. My neighbors NEVER complain 
about my 95 dB weed eater, but they will about a 95db outdoor music.

 I just want to see what others think. I for one love noise maybe it has 
to do with growing up listening to hard rock music or something. What 
would Nascar be with near silent cars, or how about John Force running at 
300 MPH quietly? Would the Blue Angels be exciting if they didn't roar? 
Same goes with my planes, I like loud, it sounds cool and it adds to the 
excitement. Why do you think that IMAC type planes appeal to many? I know 
we have sound restrictions and all but I can't help the fact that I get 
turned on by the roar of an engine. I wonder if the new more "PC" electric 
revolution will be as exciting for spectators and participants alike.But 
hey it's just my opinion I could be wrong. Mike
