OFFICIAL THREAD*** Solo in the Park (Chilhowee)

Post by MARKP »

Registration is open. Here is the link: http://msreg.com/SITP2014 Please feel free to go ahead and pay online.

This is one of our charity events so please invite your friends to come spectate, ride, and participate. We hope to have a large turnout for this event. This will be a two-day event with a different course for each day. Class winners will be determined by adding your fastest run on each day.

The site opens at 7am on Saturday and we should have the course set up by 8 on Saturday. We need to be off the site by 5pm each day.

Sound Policy

This sound policy will be strictly enforced for this event. No exceptions can be made to this policy for this event.

This sound policy is in place to protect our access to event sites. Loud cars aren’t usually appreciated by the general public. 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 (in the manner of engine displacement or vehicle weight.) 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.

STANDARD and MEASUREMENT

--Maximum limit of 96 dB, with the meter set to “A” weighting, “Slow” Response.
--The microphone will be mounted on a tripod, 3-4 feet above ground level at the measuring point 50 ft from the edge of the course lane, using a coned gate as a reference.
--The microphone will be positioned perpendicular to the vehicle’s direction of travel.
--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.
--Sound control operator will record readings over 90dBA and may at the operators discretion record or check off those under 90dBA for reference later.

These will be your chiefs for this event:
Event Chief - Mark Pilson
Chief of Course - John Brown
Chief of Registration - Isaac Cogdill
Chief of Safety - Dave Yoder
Chief of Tech - Paul McFall
Chief of Waivers - Lin Cox
Chief of Timing - Brian Robbins
Chief of Workers - Jason Chapman and Randy Walker
Chief of Novices - Jim Simmons
Chief of Grid - Josh McCoig

Just a heads up, but UT is holding an open practice that same Saturday. Shouldn't affect traffic going to the event, but it may for folks going home depending on how late the event runs:

Special note about this for Lin and event chair, and all the rest of y'uns so you can help with this. A weekend member for is REQUIRED for any non member that participates, whether they be a ride-along or a driver. If they are a rider only, please note on their weekend member form that they are a passenger so that we will not get billed for the weekend membership.
