whoever owns laguna seca needs to get punched in the face.

great news though, your car should really liven up with those cams.

That would be.....: The government. All starting to make sense now? Poorly run, costs a lot to run the place but they still lose money....Laguna will eventually be shut down

It's all about Infineon/sears

fun track.

orthojoe · 09-22-2012, 10:05 PM

Infineon/Sonoma/sears whatever they call it now is definitely a fun track. Very technical. The only problem is the walls. They're everywhere. I'm not quite as comfortable testing my limits there. I haven't found a favorite track yet of the three I go to. They're each special in their own way.

trick3d · 09-22-2012, 10:34 PM

For sure ortho, very technical and walls everywhere

How's the car coming along?

orthojoe · 09-22-2012, 11:51 PM

The car is at GST. Just waiting for now. Hoping for the best and scared to see the bill...

More and more tracks are imposing noise limits based on complaints from nearby residents. My Evo X isn't overly loud with the Buschur exhaust but tracks with noise restrictions put me right on the edge. How do tracks like Lime Rock and Laguna Seca even host events like the Grand-Am series? Those care are MUCH louder at full tilt I can assure you I doubt they are forcing them to put quieter mufflers on those race cars but I could be wrong.

We have the same issue in Australia.
some tracks have even been shut down.

I don't understand the mentality of residents who move in NEXT TO A RACE TRACK that has been there for 30, 40, 50 years and then complain about the noise.
FFS, what did you think it would be like?

They make exceptions for sound limits at certain events. Basically, they don't want amateurs there, but will tolerate the big pro events that bring in more money.

Its always about the money. If the residents bring it then they dictate it, if the racing brings it, then the racing dictates it.
