Do you have a cold air intake? You can fail sound if you're on the cam with C.A.I. - Rob.
I have a forcefed intake on there now but am putting in a cup air box next week...any better?Do you have a cold air intake? You can fail sound if you're on the cam with C.A.I. - Rob.
Yes, the noise restriction is always enforced except for their big events like MotoGP and such. I know at motorcycle trackdays the control riders rig up deflectors at the end of their pipes to deflect the noise to the other side, lol, as TrackAddict mentioned. Or maybe one of these? But I don't know anything about this stuff...wow that is disheartening, I really wanted to hit that track. That can't be for all events there?
Yes, As far as the intake goes. The Cup air box setup meets sound - Rob.I have a forcefed intake on there now but am putting in a cup air box next week...any better?
The Larini Sport SE and Sport 8" pass sound @ Laguna - Rob.Pretty much any aftermarket exhaust will get you a meatball flag at Laguna on a track day event. There are only 4 weekends where they lift the noise limit - Moto, ALM, Historics...

its not the liberal environmental commies, its the rich and powerful bastards living in mansions nearby (ie well connected lawyer types) ;-) (who built their places AFTER the track was built) Monterey is a relatively conservative enclave in Northern California.WHY are there sound restrictions there? :shrug: The track has a HUGE buffer of hills and abandoned military property all the way around. There are very few homes and they are at a considerable distance. Is it just the liberal, commie, environmentalist, nanny state mentality that is so indigenous to the area?:no:
Before you all reply, let me go put on a few layers of Nomex!
Already drove Sears Point/Infineon and have signed up for the July 5th with HOD there as well. I just would like to add Laguna to my "collection"Drive Sears Point instead. It's a much more technical ad entertaining track than Laguna - and you don't have to deal with the sound hassle.
Laguna's worth doing once, but once the novelty of the corkscrew wears off, the rest of the track is a bunch of 90 degree turns.
OK - flame away...

Yep, exactly. The sound travels quite well, too...my uncle lives maybe 4 miles east of the track (up San Benancio Rd if you know where that is); I recall visiting him once during a CART race weekend and when out on the deck you could easily hear the cars practicing. It's a normally tranquil area, I can understand why people might not like too much noise, though again, the track has been there a long, long time, people choose to live next to it!its not the liberal environmental commies, its the rich and powerful bastards living in mansions nearby (ie well connected lawyer types) ;-) (who built their places AFTER the track was built) Monterey is a relatively conservative enclave in Northern California.
It makes as much sense as people building their houses in the flight path near an airport and complain about airplane noise. Idiots...Yep, exactly.

Two things are apparently not commonly understood about Laguna Seca and sound, in contrast to other tracks.WHY are there sound restrictions there? :shrug: The track has a HUGE buffer of hills and abandoned military property all the way around.

Indeed, for the SCCA events we have to run at 90db in the morning and in the afternoon (only the middle of the day gets to run 101 and 103db), and since SRF's and Spec Miata's are the only classes that can get down to 90db with mufflers, we always end up running first thing in the morning and last thing at night.Pretty much any aftermarket exhaust will get you a meatball flag at Laguna on a track day event.
