Nearby homeowners have been pushing to reduce sound limits. I'd bet those homeowners would be happy to see the tracks close altogether.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see what happens in 2014. Trackmasters has given up on Laguna. It seems that they don't think they can fill the track with 90dB cars. NCRC still has events at Laguna but they too will give up if people stop signing up because they got flagged for noise.<br /><br />Laguna and Sears Point still host a handful of unlimited sound semi- and professional track events. Worse case is they raise the cost to those guys to make up lost revenue from car clubs.<br /><br />My car measured 91.2dB. As much as I like Laguna, it's probably over.<br /><br />The winner of all this will be Thunderhill. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>dohcfox</b> <br /><small>Member # 12829</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2014,0,28,18,12,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> i put some reallly quiet mufflers on mine and still was 92 at laguna. suckks... i think brake squeek is louder than 90 db! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SydeWaySix</b> <br /><small>Member # 3596</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2014,0,28,18,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I have no idea what my car's db is...but I'm hoping I can at least slide by at Sonoma!
