Myself, being <br />in the Motorsports industry I value the professional operation that ERX has become. Nowhere in the US <br />or Canada is there such a complex for winter and summer motorsports events and recreation. My family <br />and I personally participate 4-6 times per year at ERX. We stay in hotels, buy food, gas and shop in Elk <br />River. We travel 5 hrs. to enjoy the events. <br />With my background in the Motorsports industry, 36 year employee with Arctic Cat, I <br />understand the concerns in regards to "Noise". Great strides have been over the years in terms of sound <br />level regulations and reductions. We can work together on this as technology keeps progressing. Totally <br />shutting down an operation is not the answer. <br />Congestion and traffic, that is something the Metro area has seen and will keep seeing. It is <br />related to the 3 million people that live the MSP and surrounding area. Again, closing down a business is <br />definitely not the answer. <br />The solution is working together and making it better. <br />Sincerely, <br />Joel Hallstrom <br />
