WATKINS, Colo. — Residents of a Watkins neighborhood feel a major racetrack being built nearby doesn't belong in their agricultural community and are concerned about the noise it will generate.
"We went to some of the Adams County meetings and started protesting against it and trying to get them not to do it," said Benjie Blase, who has lived nearby for 20 years. Members-only racetrack moves forward with development east of Denver International Airport The Ascent Drive Resort boasts a nearly four-mile road course, a 160-acre off-road park, and more than 750 garages. The private, members-only race track has annual dues that start at $7,500.
Adams County officials declined an interview but said they held a series of public hearings when the application was being considered. They say if any property owner in the county fails to comply with standards or regulations like noise, they could be issued violations.
