Victory Lane Magazine is sponsoring a 914 Gathering at Laguna Seca Oct 29/30 this weekend as part of the SCCA vintage race weekend. They are trying to get us teeners to be the featured marque! If you are a qualified racer or know someone with a 914 that is, please have them contact Pam Shatraw at 650 321 1411 to get on their list ASAP. This event sells out early every year!
I think they plan on a 914 parking corral- so all you non-racers come out to support us (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I got measured at 97.6db.

actually, we went through this with scotts tube frame car last time we were there ...

here's what we found:

we were blackflagged with over 105 db during the first practice session.
we didn't have a second muffler, so we tried to cover the engine lid.
but trying to keep the noise inside the engine comp did *NOT* work. it made it worse!
we got black-flagged again (and they don't think that's very funny ...)
we were ready to pack up and go home when we decided to go the opposite route and try one more time ...

we took the engine lid completely off! all the noise went straight *up* into the sky and we passed!
no lifting throttle required, same muffler as before (where we had 105+ db) ...

so apparently, they must measure the sound close to the ground ...
