SCCA road race/ trackday at Road Atlanta

[dakilla4ever]

I'll be there with a good amount of people from my crew. But If you can, break it down exactly what we have to do in order to run on Sunday.
Example:
1. Sign up on SCCA.COM (Which one do we sign up fro?)
2. etc.
3. etc........

[dakilla4ever]

And does all this count for the one on March 22-&23?

MATT IM RIDIN WITH YOU

Also for those of interested in going with loud ass cars..your going to get black flagged if you have anything more than a basic cat-back. That excludes very loud fart-cans, catless cars, and extremely loud cars with cats. Your car literally needs to be stock sounding + a little grunt to it to not get flagged off. I have cats, resonators and BB Tri-flo and if it were 10% louder it would probably get flagged.

So.......no open down pipe??

NO! lol

[atlantamx3]

Or better yet, Join SCCA at the 1st Autocross, Autocross for Free, then work an event weekend at Road Atlanta and then PDX for $20.

40 minutes of instructor led track time for $20 is the Deal of the damn century.

You can get lucky and have a cool instructor like i had last time-- Mark Pombo who is a regional Spec Miata Champ (from my understanding) so he knew his ****.

[Elbow]

When is the first autocross?

2/17/08 @ Six Flags

[slow_hatch]

NO! lol

Just out of curosity, why is SCCA so strict about noise? Last time I checked all my motorcycles are louder than my car.

[Elbow]

They arent, its quiet time on Sunday, which is supposed to be quiet which is why no race cars are racing.

Ahhh, that explains alot. So they are trying to cheat the system

full lot son. what what! it is like twice the size of the turner lot. im guessing 2min? lol

yeah the ristriction is for church or something. i only know of 2 race car that ran in quiet time...

[StraightSix]

Not so much cheating the system, but allowing street cars to run. The problem we've had at Road Atlanta, and by we I mean NASA, is that there isn't a noise station like at Roebling Road.

Although, I think SCCA has enough man-power that they have an actual sound guy somewhere in the infield.

The noise restriction is imposed by Hall County ordnance, and one or more Hall County police officers might be in the paddock to make sure the noise restrictions are enforced.

canoe?

Most likely its just the corner workers who will be judging the sound. They alternate which station it's at so you can't "let off" when you pass by it, which they caught on to. "Hey everyone is getting caught at 7 so make sure not be loud comming out of 7...." So they move it around. I seriously doubt any officer will enforce anything at all. Never seen that in years, nor do I think they care. Road Atlanta just gets a fine if they are caught randomly, so they do a good job of making sure our asses arn't to loud.

Did anyone get any pics fo the black MX-3 at the last PDX in November?? Or any of the Mx-3s?

Thanks for using my pics to advertise for this fun event, Matt!

I've got a few pictures of your MX-3 (I think) and a few of the white one as well from the ARRC PDX laps. Keep in mind, I am by no means a photographer, but I was there with a camera

[Elbow]

And this is a great program, so please don't risk it lol

[matthewAPM]

And this is a great program, so please don't risk it lol

yeah. this isnt some street racer group. this is on a weekend where all the top level racers in the southeast will be. so dont try to be a showoff with a loud car. it proves nothing.

btw, the sound control guy...thats me

[dakilla4ever]

From the link, it shows the registration at $75+? So what's the price of it if I join but don't help work on Saturday?

[StraightSix]

The issue we ran into was an HPDE driver in a supercharged K20 swapped late Civic Si hatch. He had no problems when we were at RA in March last year, and got black flagged on sound when we were there in August. I *know* we don't have a sound tech, so it was purely the subjective judgment of one of the corner workers. So, I my post was written from my experience with RA, quiet hours, and noise.
