If I heard the numbers correctly the highest reading at Timaru last weekend, be it Mazda RX7, V8 Touring car, Mini 7, Porsche or any other vehicle racing during the weekend was 91.2dba.
When TranZam racing was at it's peak most were running around 93dba and some were as quiet as 88dba. Adverse weather conditions did sometimes send crews into a bit of a panic as they repacked their mufflers so as to get back out onto the circuit during testing sessions.

ERC it is the attitude of people such as yourself who want to compare apples with chocolate fish as part of their argument that have caused most of the noise related issues that circuit owners now face. Get over it and comply so that we and future generations can all enjoy our sport. Stop being selfish and just get on with it, save your energy for something you can win and don't fight or create lost causes.

You do a magic job with your race series and I know that it is very disappointing when you don't get the entries you deserve but things happen for reasons rather than excuses and many competitors will use an excuse such as noise limits as an excuse when really the reason is simply that they no longer have the passion to race like they once did and the event is no longer a priority for them.

Lets trust that you get a great turnout for Saturday.
