Like turning the exhaust up and along the rear bumper, then along the driver's side (left side) of the car, then adding a Supertrapp on the tail pipe. This is for track days during the week when the limit is, if I remember correctly, 92db. The track is surrounded by relatively new and currently being built, as fast as possible, multi-million dollar homes. Coexistence in action. Beautiful! Peace out.</p><p style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Dave H.</p><blockquote type="cite">On October 9, 2018 at 12:46 PM robert bownes via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> wrote: <br> <br><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Yup, seems to have started many many years ago at Lime Rock, where there is no racing on Sunday because of the church across the street.
