Event 7 sound "Hall of Shame" (advisory)

[MikeKelly]

Was this when I was...ahem...much closer to the meter than the required 50ft? I don't think the Geo had even made the hall-of-shame for a pelli event before. I even just put a fresh (same model, less broken) muffler on the car.

You're almost exactly the same situation as Marcus, except I don't have any data on you this year (or I don't think I do) - I skipped the last Bristol event due to the weather forecast.

I've got three runs on you Saturday: 94.3, 98.1, 98.3

Five runs Saturday (missed 1st runs due to moving meter): 95.9, 98.0, 98.3, 97.2, 96.7


What's your exhaust size? I've got a 2.5" (tube) x 4" SuperTrapp you could test at Pelli if you've got a cute way to put it on...

Same offer for Marcus...


They're only rated to 250hp - but we could put a few extra disks on (more disks = more flow).

Taking the car to have the exhaust changed on Monday... it's loud...

Thanks!


P.S. - I would have made you the same loaner offer, but I didn't realize I was getting into the SuperTrapp prototyping / testing business last time we talked...

Further results for comparison / full disclosure.

Cars I have a great deal of data on - key cars I watch closely every event - call them sound control cars if you like.

One of these three cars will generally always be about as loud as we can tolerate at pelli (+/-/?) - regardless of atmospheric / or other variables.


And yes, I'm always trying to push them to move down the list (yes JB - I would prefer you to keep it below 92 at pelli) - but they are a very reliable "control set" currently.

These are the things I look at before I start calling DNFs or insisting people work on their exhaust.
