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. |

It also depends on the venue. I've been to events with completely unmuffled full racing cars, but they're usually held in places out in the sticks. The very best venue I've known about was literally next to a busy working airport, so sound level was a complete non-issue. IMHO, anything over 98dB is getting unsocial, and some full racing clubs limit you to 103dB regardless of venue.
Laguna's 92dB limit is very picky, as they have asshole neighbors with money and no sense (buy land and build a house within earshot of a racetrack THEN complain about the noise). They do a pretty serious job of enforcing it. |
