^^ As I understand it, the difference lies in how the sound is classified. The noise limits that governs track days and road racing are known as sustained noise, whereas those coming from the drag strip are probably considered as something along the lines of peak noise or short noise bursts. When you look at it that way, having a lower noise ceiling for track days and road racing make sense.
Unlike the US, we don't have nearly as much usable space in the middle of nowhere, so we are forced to deal with having our racing grounds in relatively close proximity with the rest of civilization. And when that occurs, lower noise ceilings invariably come into play. I'd much rather deal with and work around a low noise ceiling as opposed to not having a venue to play at all.
