Dysenpham Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Does anyone know if there will be sound limit for Western Nats this year there? If so, what DB level? Need to come up with a compliant exhaust if so. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WynnS123 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Do you have transport lined up, Dyson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysenpham Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Wynn- same rig as last year. I'm planning to stop off a night about halfway. Its still a 25hr haul for me though. I know that the DB level is somewhere between 103-105 normally for Laguna, just want to know for sure before I make plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I believe its 105db has this been published or anything anywhere yet? what source do you have to ensure that's the figure? Not trying to be mean, just flesh out how firm/realistic that number may be is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILIKETODRIVE Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Our Regional Director wasn't able to confirm but he said the two possibilities were 105db or unlimited... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 What's the distance they measure at also? That makes a little bit of difference too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flink Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 What's the distance they measure at also? That makes a little bit of difference too. About 100 feet? This shed: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mazda+Raceway+Laguna+Seca/@36.5798594,-121.7524026,50m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x808df089bfd5341b:0xddbb6644155538c0 For what it's worth, the track's calender (http://www.mazdaraceway.com/calendar/2015-08) says "105dBA" for the three days. It's pretty easy to pass those levels at Laguna. If you have a (right) side-exit then there might be problems. If you can clamp a little turnout to the tailpipe to send the noise leftwards, it would be prudent to have that in the trailer just in case.

Dysenpham Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 So unlimited for a NASA regional event and 105db for a Championship event? Boo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 105 dB at 100' is still pretty damn loud - should be able to meet it without dropping horsepower besides Dysen you need to get ready for 103 dB @ 50' for the new Bluebonnet track anyway.

Are there any other Texas region guys going to West Nats? It's probably worth rounding up some locals and splitting a hauler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 when it was a single National Championship Mid-O or Miller are both close to that same distance away... we're used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
