Anyone seen the earthworks the ACT club has done to mitigate noise at Fairbairn Park? Incredible amounts of earth have been brought in and/or relocated to build sound mounds five or sixe metres high around parts of both the MX and the dirt track where exhausts point towards populated areas. They've put fences up top for spectator viewing, which means of course great vantage points. VMXMAN and I were at the dirt track yesterday to watch the DT Junior Nationals and can confirm the viewing is par excellence. The sound mounts at the dirt track go virtually right the way round the track. They've had the official noise tests since doing the earthworks, and come in under the limit - full points to the club executive for making it happen and those that participated in construction. One more major hurdle overcome.
