the car would need to be without a manifold to bust the db limit.. it does get measured on a drive by, but the car would need to be pretty loud.. I run a skunk2 megapower without baffle plate and they havent said anything.

Donal sent me this, it should help answer a few questions on this thread

Hi Leigh,

I have had a look at your forum on this topic and I thought I would clear up a few points for the benefit of everyone.

We really want people at the circuit around 10:15am so that we can get the paperwork done and start the instruction laps for the Newbies. However, we don't want any cars raking about the paddock at this time because of the close proximity of three churches.

We do have a noise issue at Kirkistown. In the past I have turned a deaf ear to the odd car because it was just an odd car and in the overall scheme of the day, it wasn't circulating that much. However, a bunch of them is different. The noise test is as follows. The dB meter is held 1 meter away from the end of the exhaust, at a 45º angle, while the engine is revved to 4,000 revs. It must read 98dB or less. Anything up to 100dB we will accept. Anything over that does not go out. Might I suggest the iPhone app that turns a phone into a noise meter. Test the car before signing up.

We usually have one or two racing Civics from the Civic Cup in attendance. They are quicker than most other Civics and are within the noise limits. If they can do it...

Incidentally, these Civics can be hired at a reasonable price, if anyone is lacking a car!

For the sessions before lunch all Newbies will be in their own group and will not be bothered by the more experienced pilots. After lunch the sessions are totally mixed.

The comments about brakes are absolutely accurate. Carry a spare set of front pads and use top quality fluid. Also, be prepared to swap the front wheels about to share the tyre wear.

The café will be open until 2:30 or 3:00pm. The food is good and reasonably priced.

Everyone should bring a helmet and wear long sleeves. Cars may carry 1 passenger who must also wear a helmet and long sleeves. There is no extra cost for passengers or second drivers.

It is hardly likely to be an issue with your people but drifting is not allowed because (a) of the noise factor and (b) too many drifters seem to run out of talent, usually in front of another car.

We will have 3 A.R.D.S. instructors, all of whom currently race, on hand to assist anyone who needs or wants advice.

We are looking forward to having you guys down. It should be a great day.

Regards,



Donal
