dcazin 0 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 2 spec Z's hauling from Raleigh to what was supposed to be a Nissan shoot out. What's up? As fun as this event is going to be - not worth the trek if no other spec Z's will be racing. We need to pick up the pace - I'll save my tires for fresh VIR pavement.

trackaddict 0 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Folks, I just wanted to update everyone that Barber has noise restrictions. Cars must meet a 101dB sound limit. They measure it from a fixed location. If you exceed the limit, you can make modifications to correct it like a turn away or baffle. We also run at AMP where the limit is 98dB and have very few issues so hopefully everyone can make adjustments if necessary. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grintch 0 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Since when? Don't recall ever hearing about it during SCCA events there. Any openings left? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbrew8991 0 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Barber has alledgedly always been 103 dB, 101 in winter. Maybe your stuff isn't loud enough to hit 103? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ritter 0 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I went to register for this and see that I already am. Doh. Note that there is a Blitz group which is nice. What is the schedule for the w/e- practice, qual and sprint X 2 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trackaddict 0 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Advanced run group is full (It has been full for several days already). I have a lot of advanced drivers in Intermediate. In terms of passing rules, think of Intermediate as HPDE2 and Advanced as HPDE3. The Racer group is like HPDE4 where a pointby is preferred but not required. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grintch 0 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Barber has alledgedly always been 103 dB, 101 in winter. Maybe your stuff isn't loud enough to hit 103? Why the winter difference? 103 is the SCCA default limit, so likely why no specific mention of a sound limit was made. All the SCCA races have been in Sept. I think.

kbrew8991 0 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Good question for track mgt - it's something they're bound by for whatever reason and that sorta stuff rolls downhill so to speak as I understand it. Could be something as simple as wanting to be good neighbors and shave a few dB in their end-of-season events when the foliage may be thinner and not absorb as much sound. Could be something forced upon them by local government and makes no sense but gotta do it anyway. Not sure, I don't run the place, heh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Jim P. 0 Posted January 15, 2014 Members Share Posted January 15, 2014 It has always been their policy, if the event is when the foliage is thin then the limit is 101db, otherwise 103db. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmj951 0 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Jim we had a DB meter at MSRH this weekend & both Jerry & my Vette are under 100db's going down the front straight at MSRH. DB meter was 30 yards away i believe we will be ok. Does that sound correct as for as the distance of the meter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Jim P. 0 Posted January 23, 2014 Members Share Posted January 23, 2014 That sounds about right, no guarantees but you should be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
