Cars, the average should be no more than 100 dbA with no single reading over 104 dbA.
Motorcycles, the average should be no more than 98 dbA with no single reading over 100 dbA.


Their full sound regulation page is here: Calabogie Sound

Just keep the "sport flaps" closed and you will be OK.

Tremblant has a much stricter sound policing of their db limit with on track monitoring at all times while Calabogie does random on track monitoring.

1Gunner, I am sure you have answered me this before but we are all running side muffler delete, so no more flaps. Much quieter then a Sharky bypass, but a little louder then stock.

OK?

Sharky with flaps closed is no problem at either track. Sharky with flaps open is on the edge. Your set ups should be no issue at CMP, may need to finese throttle by the track-side sound police at Tremblant.

Not sure of your schedule but Shannonville is on the way from Tremblant to Mosport . Right of the highway 2 km's. Shannonville from Mosport is 1 hr. Fun track in both the long and Pro layouts.

From Mosport to Downtown Toronto it is 1 hour 15 mins. I make the drive all the time.

Good "vision" exercise at Tremblant as you look up, searching for the roaming sound police, driving using your peripheral... although I hear they are always parked at the same spot.

Great vision exercise!!

Hint: inside turn 6, the left hand full throttle sweeper, look for a van with a db meter on a tripod nearby.

Speaking of tires, Braidan Tire has a shop at Mosport.

I realize that you guys are probably ok, but if you need some fresh rubber, or if you need to get some mounted, the shop can do it.

They are the Canadian importer of Michelin slicks, and also do Hoosiers. Just call ahead to order if you want to purchase. PM me for tel no.
