Speedway to Motorcyclists/MotoGP fans: "Give us your money and shut the hell up!"

Friken' hypocrites. The town of Speedway, home of the Indianapolis Speedway is hosting the first ever MotoGP event at the famous brickyard later this year.
They're more than happy with the money MotoGP/Motorcycle enthusiasts will be shelling out for tickets, tolls, hotels, food, drink, souvenirs, etc. but don't you dare have the audacity to show up on a motorcycle and 'rev' your engine.

...The proposal is the first step toward making it illegal for motorcycle riders to rev their engines during race weeks.


WTF? With no mention of automobiles making too much noise, this poorly written piece of 'legislation' makes it obvious the town fathers of Speedway are pretty much money-grubbing scum, willing to 'tolerate' motorcyclists, as long as your willing to spend some dough and not make any noise.

I'm no fan of open pipe bikes making a spectacle of themselves, but there are already dB regulations governing the noise ANY motor vehicle can make. How about enforcing them and not discriminating against motorcyclists with some arbitrarily worded, shoddy piece of legal discrimination.

Let them know how you feel before the August 11th vote:
