SMSP has a 95dB limit for track days, however it appears they don't really enforce it, especially when they use the main straight for Roll Racing and those cars are anything but quiet.

Also screamer pipes are such a distraction on track days, you're too busy enjoying the noise to actually be focusing on driving fast lol.

Depends where the microphone is for the noise meter and I don’t think drag racing has the noise restrictions 

Apparently it's at the control tower, yeah I know Roll Racing doesn't have it however the irony is they use the same main straight.

My understanding, is SMSP doesn't have an actual noise limit from the Gumbyment. Other tracks do. Hence they opt in / out of who gets noise restrictions on which days.

That is my understanding from like 15 years ago when I was there.

That's so dumb.

It's the age of case of "Even though we can, maybe we shouldn't do it all the time" so they don't annoy everyone

While there's "not a lot" close to EC, that sound does travel.

 

Roll Racing may align with Top Fuel on some nights, so Top Fuel will be way louder, may as well let it be loud at RR.

When WTAC gets in, it's a HUGE event, better open it up a little (Being on the start finish line, it's nicer if cars keep below the 95dba limit).

 

95DBA is pretty darn loud. Especially since it's measured at race tracks at 30m from the edge of the track normally!

So think about how loud a car is when it gets book at over 90dba on the road at 1.5m, and then imagine how much louder it is to get to 95DBA at over 15times the distance...

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
