Online Registration for the Atlanta, Houston and Atwater tours, and the Atlanta and Atwater ProSolos are now available on-line.

Joel, question about the Atlanta db limit:

How is this measured? Will there be someone taking readings during friday practice? I'll bring a turn down or an old muffler, but I'd like to know before hand if I'm close to the limit or not.

Thanks,

Corey #89 STS

P.S. I signed up for both Atlanta events. I hope I don't have to work in an ankle deep stream this year :lol:

:lol: I hope not too! At least it's 1 month later in the year than last year. So it'll be just a tad warmer too. :D

I registered for the Pro. ;)

Is the online registration and the "application" the same thing?

I registered online, but there was no spot for car number.

Obviously, this is my first time doing this for a Nat., so thanks for the help.

Go to the event you want to register for and select 'Online Registration;.

Then you have to sign in. After that, you fill out necessary info and there's a place you put in your car info, and under that is where you select a number from the list of avialble numbers.

Phil and I are now registered for the Atlanta Pro.

I do find it rather annoying that there doesn't seem to be a way to change your registration after it's completed. What if you have a change in sponsors or something? I guess you'd probably have to call SCCA. Which is just dumb. But maybe the online registration development is still "in-process". *shrug*

I went back in and saw that. I missed it the first time and ended up as #1.
Unfortunately, you cant edit your registration online, so I called and they are going to fix it.

Thanks for the help...

Important Event Information


Gwinnett County Fairgrounds Sound Control Standards and Procedures Policy for all SCCA Solo II events

In an effort to minimize impact to the surrounding community, all SCCA Solo competitors will be required to abide by the following set of noise limitations at all events held at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds. The competitor shall carry sole responsibility for ensuring their vehicle complies with these Sound Control Standards and Procedures.

Vehicle sound emission is not a constant factor that can be trimmed to barely legal levels. Sound emissions may vary significantly from morning to afternoon, and day to day, so the competitor is advised to target any vehicle sound emission level "adjustments" to well under the limit, to allow for variations in conditions.

The intent of the following rules is to truly make our events quieter by limiting the sound level produced by individual vehicles. Competitors are expected to use mufflers as the primary method for sound reduction. Sound measuring stations will be on both sides of vehicles to ensure sound output levels are below limits.

Standard:
• Maximum limit of 96db, A weighted, at the measuring point.

Measurement:
• The measuring point will be established during course set up, and approved by the event chair.
• Measurement will be taken at a point on course where the car can reasonably be expected to be at full throttle, under load, and at high RPM.
• The measuring point will be 50 ft from the edge of the course lane, using a coned gate as a reference. More than one measuring point may be established.

Sound Station(s):
• A Sound Station will be established at the measuring point(s) on the course.
• A calibrated sound meter meeting ANSI Type 2 standards (or higher) will be used.
• The meter will be mounted 3-4 feet above ground level.
• The meter will be positioned perpendicular to the vehicle's direction of travel.
• The meter will be set to "A" weighting, "Slow" Response.
• Every car will be measured on every run.
• The Sound Station Operator and the Operating Steward will be equipped with a radio on the same channel.
• The Sound Station Operator will be equipped with a clip board & notepad to record the car number of violators.

Violations:
• When a vehicle exceeds 93 dBa, the sound operator will inform the Operating Steward who will inform the driver that they are close to exceeding the 96 dBa limit.
• Any run 96dBa or over will be scored a DNF.
• When a vehicle exceeds 96 dba, the sound operator will call timing to score the run as a “DNF”. The Operating Steward will also be called so that they may inform the competitor that they have exceeded the allowed noise limit, the run has been scored as a DNF, and that they will need to take preventative measures as outlined below to continue.
• When a vehicle exceeding 96 dBa returns to grid, the Operating Steward will notify the driver of the car’s measured sound level. The driver will be given the opportunity for a "mechanical delay" to attempt to reduce the vehicle’s sound level. If, in the judgment of the Operating Steward, the driver has attempted a viable remedy, he will authorize a "second chance run". If the driver(s) declines any "repair" action, or the "repair" is deemed inadequate or inappropriate by the Operating Steward, the driver(s) will forfeit all subsequent runs in that vehicle.
• If the vehicle exceeds the limit on the "second chance run”, all subsequent runs by that vehicle, if any, are forfeited.
• No refunds will be given to entrants who violate the noise policy and subsequently receive a “DNF” or forfeited runs.

Hmmm... looked at the entry list for Atlanta.... I can't believe Robert Palmblad has the audacity to use #34 for his FS car. <scowl>

Karen

Finish him!

So with the Pro and 2 cars going simultaneously, are there going to be precautions to check that the measuring equipment is only measuring the one car, instead of both cars?

Let's see if this will work.

Thanks for the info Phil! Maybe I just better run a muffler at this event.

Looks good KC.

I so want to be a moderator in this forum so I can create one sticky and edit it with info on these events.

Like....

Date / Event / Register / Entry List / Results

And lock it so there's no talk about it in that thread.

Done :)

Check your PMs again. :)

Just use the rally sound testing method, measure the car from like 1ft away at 2500 rpm. :)

95dB at 50 feet is pretty damn loud, I've only heard a couple cars that would eclipse that. Can you kick them out for not having a good sounding car? Some of those EM rotary cars...

Yup. A turndown (or "turnawayfromthemic" ;) ) should clear that dB requirement on a straightpipe.

are we to believe you were actually going to run your car :p

I'm hoping to make it to the Atlanta ProSolo.

Well, that is what I'm registered in.... ;)
