I loved the term "yuppies". I can relate to your story with regards to the most famous speedway venue in Australia, the Sydney Showground. It had been running for well over 50 years but wealthy and influential people (some of them Yuppies) moved into the residential area surrounding this wonderful track and decided they didn't want to be disturbed by the noise which usually ceased about 10.30 Sat. evenings during summer. The original locals had no problems whatsoever. The newcomers had money, power and were very influential and some had friends in high places. Now thousands of fans are denied their sport because of a few. As much as I love the Isle of Man I would never have though of visiting there if not for the TT.
