not lame, you know your car was loud when the wastegate opened doug

the reason we have the sound level restrictions is b/c across the airfield is an assisted-living home, and the only way we can race at the old air field is if we keep the neighbors happy i.e. keeping the sound level down to a dull roar your car definitely is much louder than a dull roar lol

No.. lame that the area sucks.. I like the course and all.. but I will not go there and spend 35 dollars if my car cant be loud. I enjoy loud cars.. I don't care if others dont

edit: I'll go to cecil/atco/roadcourse and be as loud as I want :P

Yeah man I agee, but got to give the old people what they want or there won't be any racing there at all.

[05sti]

i will definitely be there. i was the black sti with black tint. #03 sm. judging by what you guys have said about noise levels im thinking i might have to bring out the silencer for the first time. I'm really excited for this autox cause it will be the first autox with my new coilovers

fair enough

btw, a number of people who's cars appeared to be really loud never hit the dB limit...i know my Spec V was loud as hell but it didn't hit the max reading

you could always just let off for a second at the dB meter location

[Twin_Cam]

I would be there....but it's the day after St. Patty's Day. And uhhh, yea. You know how that goes.

[05sti]

what is the db limit? im guessing mine is well over 100. especially after the many shotgun fireballs that shoot out

you may be surprised....a lot of the scoobies that i thought were pretty loud didn't hit the max dB limit

they announced at the last event that the limit is 94dB iirc.....if you have a silencer, bring it with you just in case, if you don't have a silencer you can just lift off for a split second as you go past the meter so you don't go over the limit (if they gave you a warning)

besides, lifting for a split second isn't really going to make much of a difference for the majority of the people on here anyway since they aren't going to be fighting for first in class or anything (not b/c you lack the skill but b/c you're new to autoxing)

Hey, you guys try "celebrating", then waking up and leaving here at 6 AM so you can drive 2 hours home/to the auto-x site and be there at 8. Forget that. Plus I have friends visiting and they're sleeping over, so I can't leave. That would be rude.

Then again, I would be able to drive the hatch, right Adam?
