decibel level for AX, Whats too much? Options

[Rough_Rider]

So i popped off the banana muffler & fired her up on the driveway, ferking heck thats loud. I reckon 105-110db.

Presumably thats how loud it'd stay with megaphones or some straight pipe!! Dang. Sound good though (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) just need earplugs.


Question is how loud is too loud for AX / track venues. circa 95db?? Didn't see anything specific in PCA or SCCA rules.

Typically, it's "whatever the site allows". Each site has its own policies, and the clubs are pretty much there completely at the mercy of whomever owns the site.

PCA Zone 7's rules, I believe, only say "No open exhaust". But most sites have their own limits. Most of those involve the number of complaints they get, though, not a specific decibel reading.

Laguna Seca has a number of different levels that are allowed on different days. I believe there are even some 89 dBA days, and there are 95, 98, and possibly 102 or 103 dBA days. And for just a few glorious weekends per year, there are no sound limits...
