the County Circuit Court Judge has ordered operations of Sloan Onondaga Dragway to cease immediately, the neighbor Rebecca Lindsey, complained enough. I'm guessing, that the track was there before she was



In the lawsuit, Lindsey contends the track is a nuisance because of the amount of noise and vibrations it generates. Aquilina agreed. 

 This is not the first nuisance lawsuit the 1/8 mile drag strip has faced.

In January, Ingham County Circuit Court Judge ruled against township residents Mark and Susan Cooper.

In that case, the couple argued the dragway violated Onondaga Township ordinances. The Judge found otherwise and declined to issue an injunction in a written decision issued Feb. 3, 2025.

Residents sued the former owners in 2013, claiming the dragway was a nuisance. After a lengthy trial, Jamo ruled the dragway was a nuisance. The Michigan Court of Appeals upheld that decision. That case was officially closed in 2020, a year before Woody Sloan purchased the dragway.

Sloan argues in court documents and a signed affidavit that he has changed the property to minimize the sound. He argues a 6-foot tall soil berm addressed the noise concerns by nearby residents by reducing the noise coming from the track.

He also argues that his reduction in raced days also minimized the noise in comparison to the previous owners.
