A *lot* of the point of the sound regulations is to be able to show people that you HAVE sound regulations and that they are reasonable. Then you have SOMETHING to fall back on if/when the complaints do make it to someone who cares. That's not always enough, but often it is.
Donnie is the one who nailed it.Hopefully, the club won't decide to do nothing "because people will just complain anyway." We're smarter than that. Right?
Who exactly do you think was saying we should do nothing? My post certainly shouldn't have given that indication. I'd say that Donnie and I both "nailed it". We have had a sound level rule established since 2004 BTW,
look here at item 3.11, and we have attempted to enforce this in Greenville at least as far getting Walter to stuff steel wool in this tail pipes which was surprisingly effective. I agree we should make an effort to more proactively enforce the existing sound rule for events at this site and those of us with louder cars should make some effort to quiet them down a bit, maybe I'll try the steel wool trick myself though I'm pretty sure my car would pass the 95db rule. However, I feel my point remains that with the proximity of the trailer park and nearby neighborhood, complaints are inevitable and certainly not "fairly easily control" as you stated. I think we could all be running EV cars and simply the tire squealing noises alone would be enough noise to cause complaints in this case. We can make our best reasonable efforts to control excessive noise, but as Bernie states above its really all going to come down to Richard and his connections and his tolerance of any grief he may receive, and as Donnie states above, our rules and efforts will simply be to show we have rules and have made efforts. Maybe we will get lucky and the trailer park will be full of illegal immigrants who don't want to draw any attention to themselves.

No offense to those that might live in a trailer park, my dad lived in one until I graduated from high school and I spent my summers there and had great fun, not to mention most all of my siblings currently live in trailers, such is life growing up in Thomasville, NC which has transitioned from a thriving manufacturing hub to a purely "service sector economy" over the past three decades.
