[Fot] CRC and noise

[Bill Babcock]

I assume you are talking about the Portland Historic Races and the  
Pacific Northwest Historics which are July 3-5 and July 11-12, not the  
Columbia River Classic which is Sept 5-7 since there is no race at  
Pacific Raceway the week before the CRC.

The Portland Historic races are an HMSA event, I don't know what noise  
control level they'll be working with. You have to get a special  
variance to exceed 105 db. A supertrapp is generally plenty. I've run  
Peyote with an open exhaust at PIR and not exceeded the limit, but I  
was just trying that out to see what worse case was. I run a light  
muffler and never have a problem--nothing as restrictive as a  
supertrapp.

I don't know what the limit at Pacifc Raceways is, but it's generally  
less restrictive than PIR. great track.
