NOLA and noise
Thinking of coming over to LA to race with all the SPB.
I see that their noise limit is 103.
All the SPB that I know are without mufflers. Mine included.
At Roebling with a 104 limit, I can get it to 102.7 with a deflector on the tip. The 103 is too close to my number.
How are all the SPB getting by the 103????
Help so I can run at NOLA

Do you know for sure whether or not they are going to enforce it? In their Facility Rules, it sounds like they just reserve the right to enforce it, but don't always. But that's just my take. I hope I'm right, because I'm running a straight exhaust too

fast response setting at 50ft (=/- 2 feet) from the edge of the track pavement. (See SCCA 2005 GCR’s Section 12).

NOLA is pretty cool, actually. Not sure where their noise sampling location is, but in all the times I have been there, inclusing with some REALLY loud T1-style worked Corvettes, there has never been an issue...

We had like 15 SPB's there last year. Never heard a peep out of anyone about excessive dB counts. Just go and enjoy the wonderful hospitality that John Crosby and his group put together. Also partake in the Sat. night karting where Bernard dons the Emperor's clothes.
