A driver of the local economy is going to be exempt from an ordinance after action from the Farmer City Council Monday night.

City Manager Taylor Baxter explains the Farmer City Council debated exempting the Farmer City Raceway from its noise ordinance earlier this week.

The Council debated ideas of having a noise cutoff time or limiting the night's noise would be allowed beyond a certain time but Baxter notes it is rare the noise carries on really late and it would be hard to enforce if something were to slow the races during a given event.

The Farmer City Raceway is a destination for race fans and even popular names in racing at all levels.
