(A) No person shall conduct, or permit the conducting of, any part of an organized racing event which involves a contest between or among motor vehicles or motorcycles on public or private property after 10 p.m. or before 10 a.m. When an emergency condition occurs as a result of an accident or absence of an emergency vehicle during a racing event that results in a delay in finishing by 10 p.m., the time period for ending the event may be extended by one-half hour. The Health Officer shall be notified as to the specific reason for the extension within 12 hours after the conclusion of the event.
(B) For periods other than those associated with scheduled racing events, no person shall permit the operation of motor vehicles or motorcycles used in organized racing events which involves tuning of motor vehicles or motorcycles, practice sessions, or other related activities on the property of a public or private racing facility after 9:30 p.m. or before 10 a.m.
(C) As directed by the Health Officer, the owner or operator of a racing facility for motor vehicles or motorcycles shall implement a plan approved by the Health Officer for the reduction of noise levels from the facility.
(D) The provisions of (A), (B), and (C) above shall not apply to any racing event held at a racetrack lawfully operated under a special permit granted pursuant to this code and/or the city's zoning ordinance, as adopted in § 151.35. Said subsections shall apply, however, to any racing event held at a racetrack which constitutes a nonconforming use outside of the I-2, I-2, or A zoning districts of the city's zoning ordinance, as adopted in § 151.35.
