Neighbors complaining of noise at Childress race shop

Until a few months ago, racing the engines at the RCR garage in Welcome was never a problem, according to residents. Then, the team cleared 10 acres of forest between its buildings and nearby neighborhoods for its expansion.
Those trees served as a muffler for the noise. Now that they’re gone, people say the noise is unbearable. Some neighbors said the noise rattles their windows.
Monday night, the Davidson County Commissioners granted RCR a zoning request that green lights the expansion. While the neighbors were disappointed with the decision, RCR spokesman Bill Patterson said the racing team will plant cypress trees along the back property line to create a buffer.
Patterson also said the team has spent $500,000 on reducing noise and will do more. Neighbors said they’d like to see a sound reduction wall.
