NOTES:

1. Anyone that has not checked in with on-site Registration prior to the drivers meeting will not be allowed to run that day, no exceptions. Online registration is different from the on-site check-in with the workers in the timing vehicle.  

2. Noise must be kept to a minimum prior to the first runs, no unnecessary driving, no revving engines etc. 

3.  PLEASE NOTE:  manually signed waiver forms will no longer be accepted, all waivers must be completed using the Speed Waiver online process, please be prepared to show your waiver on your phone at on-site Registration.  For those that forget to complete the Speed Waiver process before coming to the event, we will have the event waiver QR code available for you to scan and complete your waiver before letting you on site.  NO PAPER WAIVERS WILL BE ACCEPTED!

Sound Policy
We have a strict sound policy; The measurement will be taken at a point where the vehicle can reasonably be expected to be under load at full throttle. The measuring point will be 50 feet from the edge of the course using an ANSI Type 2 sound meter set to “A” weighting, “Slow” response. The microphone will be placed 3-4 feet above ground level, positioned perpendicular to vehicle direction of travel. Measurement will be taken at a minimum of 1 sound station but usually 2, rules apply for both stations. 

If a vehicle registers a reading between 96.0-97.9dB the driver(s) will be given a courtesy warning that they are near the limit. 

If a vehicle registers a reading at 98.0dB or greater the driver must make a mechanical change to the vehicle (ex. install a turn-down1, install a silencer, close an exhaust valve(s)2 etc.), the mechanical change must be shown to and accepted by the Event Chair or other SASC Executive member prior to the next run. A “mechanical delay” is permissible to make this change. If during the next run the driver(s) registers a second reading at 98.0dB or greater that vehicle will not be allowed to continue running (for both drivers in case of a two driver car). 

Vehicles that register below the 97.9dB maximum in the measured section(s) of the course but are found to be excessively loud (eg. exhaust backfire, tire squeal etc.) in other sections of the course may also not be allowed to continue running if so deemed by the Event Chair or other SASC Executive member.

Our sound policy is based on the SCCA’s which can be found in Appendix 1 of the rules located here: https://www.scca.com/pages/solo-cars-and-rules

1. Turndowns can only be installed pointing directly upwards, downwards, or rearwards, pointing the turndown 90° away from the sound meter is not allowed. 
2. Exhaust valves that are adjustable electronically via the push of a button inside the vehicle are acceptable.
